25 must-see buildings in New Mexico

In 2017, USA TODAY Travel and the American Institute of Architects (AIA) are teaming up to help travelers find the best buildings in America. We asked AIA chapters nationwide to name 25 structures visitors to their state should see. These architects and design professionals also share their perspective on why these buildings, monuments and gardens are so significant. The 25 buildings in the photo gallery above were compiled through the combined efforts of AIA New Mexico, AIA Albuquerque, AIA Santa Fe, AIA Southern New Mexico and the New Mexico Architectural Foundation.

Tour New Mexico's noteworthy buildings in the carousel above, and come back each week as we crisscross the country in search of amazing architecture.
