Beginning with a survey of Spanish Colonial churches in Venezuela (Templos coloniales de Venezuela. Caracas, 1959), he has published on a variety of topics related to Latin American architecture, including prehispanic and indigenous traditions. Some of his publications have been written jointly with his wife, the anthropologist Luise Margolies.
