dc.description | Brightly painted bench and doorway; Requa helped invent the California-Spanish architectural style ("California hacienda architecture"), a style he derived from Spanish vernacular architecture. For the 1935 exposition, Requa designed Spanish Village in his characteristic style. The complex of six buildings consisted of flower, art, music, curio and wine shops, a Chinese bazaar, a children's theater, a cocktail lounge, and restaurants. One and two-story buildings, joined at the sides, were painted white and topped by red-tile roofs pitched in a multitude of angles. Olive trees, potted flowers, stalls, seats and fountains adorned the Village's patios and its large central plaza. The complex became the Spanish Village Art Center in 1947; it features 37 working art studios and galleries representing hundreds of artists and craftspeople.
