Excerpt from The Architectonic City in the Americas Near our international boundaries the traveler is usually impressed by the rapid change in community living as he steps from the soil of one country to another. Not only are the people and their habits much different, but the architecture and city plans are likewise of a different order. In North America this is most marked as one crosses the Rio Grande. The architecture and community plans that prevail throughout North Texas show a strong anglo-saxon in¿uence. Across the Rio Grande the architecture is definitely of Spanish and Mediterranean origin. In the South Texas area we see a most interesting blending of these two forms of construction with many elements of modern architecture.
