Pueblos, but then what?

As I read about Pueblo construction with nature, I have to think back to my lawn.  It is an almost entirely artificial creation that bears very little resemblance to the prairie which preceded it.  I think about how its short rooted grasses require watering while deep rooted prairie grasses could survive on rain alone.  There is also something romantic about a building in nature.  I think back to one of the first times I visited St. Olaf and how I saw Old Main and Regents peeking over the trees as my family drove on Highway 19.  These two approaches, the nature approach and the human approach, are not strictly opposed, but we have to be careful about mixing them.  As the school in Swentzell's article demonstrates, imposing one form on the other can be disastrous, but I think that if we understand these two styles, we can make them work.
