''We learn about history by reading it in School; we learn to see it when we travel, and for Americans the place where we see the most clearly impact of time on a landscape is New Mexico.'' - JB Jackson, A Sense of time and PlaceWelcome to The Mariposa Monarca, a Bart Prince designed apartment community.''Bart Prince likens his architecture to a butterfly at rest in a landscape. Whether on a crowded suburban street or in some rural solitude, his variously swooping, soaring, fluttering houses alight on their sites with the vibrant clarity of a monarch butterfly, exotic incidents of art in an apparently mundane world. Matching as it does so neatly the exuberance of his complexly patterned work, the metaphor seems to summarize the architect's thinking.
