Architecture in the United States (Paperback)

American architecture is astonishingly varied. From Indian sites in New Mexico and Arizona, to the most fashionable contemporary buildings of Chicago and New York, this book uses the most up-to-date scholarship to engage with themes of community, technology, the environment, economy, and aesthetics. This exciting new history of American architecture offers a stimulating insight into the interdependence of Americans, their architecture, their relationship to each other and the landscape.

`extraordinarily illuminating ... the thematic structure and innovative historiographical method will fundamentally transform our understanding of American architecture and urbanism' Professor Daniel Bluestone, University of Virginia
