Greater McAllen: Architecture and the Construction of the Magic Valley—An Architectural Study Tour

8 LU/HSW Credits

McAllen and the communities surrounding it possess an extraordinary array of architectural resources. We will take advantage of these resources to examine patterns of daily life and the architecture that housed them during the course of the twentieth century. We will examine developments in building size and construction materials, site and climatic relationships, urban and suburban development, and the historic evolution of design trends. We will study the work of multiple generations of architects and designers in order to frame current design practices from a regional historical perspective as well as address code compliance, health, and safety requirement updates applied to the buildings that include how the electrical or mechanical infrastructure system might be updated in a twentieth century home or religious facility.
