Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection is arranged into two series: Drawings & Plans and Renderings.
The drawings and plans series consists of over 80 sets of architectural drawings and plans including floor plans, elevations, sections, details and watercolor renderings. About half of the designs were created by the firm Edward Holien and William Buckley; the other half were completed by Buckley after Holien's death in 1967. One set of plans is by Madge G. Buckley. Drawings span the dates 1952-1989, with the bulk of them dated 1960-1973. Most of the plans are for public buildings, particularly buildings at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico and St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Designs for commercial offices, church buildings and some residences are also included.Architectural styles are predominantly the Pueblo Revival and Territorial Style.
One of Holien and Buckley's major campus projects was the University of New Mexico Fine Arts Center and Concert Hall (now called Popejoy Hall), which developed in phases between 1960-1966. Plans for St. John's College of Santa Fe include a laboratory building (1963), a men's dormitory (1963), a women's dormitory (1965), as well as the Holzman Music and Fine Arts building (1972).
The renderings (added to collection March 2013) date from 1920-1926 and include elevations, cross sections, floor plans, and details. The eleven renderings were created by Edward O. Holien while attending University of Minnesota and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the early 1920s. All are hand drawn and many are painted with watercolors. The works were donated to the Center for Southwest Research at the University of New Mexico by Van Dorn Hooker, who worked for the architectural firm Meem, Holien, and Buckley from 1951 to 1956. Many are in fragile condition and are encapsulated.
