Indigenous Art/Architecture before the Conquest
Tenochtitlan, capitol of Aztec Empire(q.v. Pohl p.17)
Large complexes of stone step pyramid palaces and temples; broad plazas and causeways; ball and gaming courts
Buildings emphasize exterior space, for grand ceremonials, over interior space
Arts both decorative and communicative
Daily-use and personal goods also often decorative, but often disposable, since most of the population are farmers
