What is the Pueblo Deco style of architecture?

Pueblo Deco is a style of architecture that emerged in the United States in the early 20th century. It combines elements of art deco design with the traditional adobe building style of the Pueblo people of the American Southwest. The style is characterized by geometric shapes, vibrant colors, and motifs inspired by Native American art. Pueblo Deco buildings typically have flat roofs, rough stucco exteriors, and decorative accents such as carved wooden doors and ornamental window grilles. The style is most commonly associated with buildings constructed between 1920 and 1940 in cities like Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Los Angeles.
