[2]Bainbridge Bunting (born November 23, 1913 - February 13, 1981) was an American architectural historian, teacher and author.
Bunting received his Ph.D. from Harvard University. In 1948, he was a faculty member of the University of New Mexico Art Department, until retiring in 1979. Bunting wrote numerous articles and three books on the architecture of New Mexico, and was noted for his expertise in adobe architecture, the Zuni Pueblo and the architecture of John Gaw Meem.[3]
Bunting is credited by architectural historian Marcus Whiffen with having re-introduced the term "Châteauesque" to describe the architectural style previously and more generally known as "Chateau Style" or "French Chateau Style.".[4]
