N2  - Contiene: The architecture which preceded the sixteenth-century Spanish Conquest of Central and South América is outstanding for its expression of strength and vitality. Fron the beginning of the Christian era ever earlier the pagan civilizations that dominated this area had developed relatively undisturbed by outside influences. Of these, the Aztec and the Maya peoples of México, and the incas of Perú left a legacy of especially impressive monuments. Tenochtitlan, principal city of the aztecs, would probably be closer to our mid-twentieth-century ideal of a wellplanned city than any which were built in the Spain of Cortes, its conqueror. The concern for integration of various architectural elements within a city, especially the sophisticated plants found in the Maya cities of  Yucatan, somewhat parellels our own attempts to establish unity within our constantly growing, expanding cities
