Roman Mars Describes Santa Fe As It Is
Roman Mars is on a mission to describe the cities that shaped who he is and how he thinks about design. Next up, Santa Fe.
Santa Fe wasn’t always on the proverbial map — in fact, the Santa Fe railroad just passed it on by. A lot of care has been taken to keep Santa Fe cute and quaint over its history, with steps to preserve native architecture and historical design. The result is a mixture of structures old and new, but mostly made to look old, for better or worse.
