Renowned for his extensive work in architectural history and
historic preservation as an educator, scholar, activist, and public
lecturer, Richard Longstreth is one of the most important
architectural preservationists of the recent past. Looking beyond
the Icons offers a generous and diverse selection of his writings
over the past twenty-five years. The author explores a variety of
topics related to midcentury (ca. 1945–70) preservation efforts,
including practical, intellectual, and psychological dilemmas
associated with preserving the recent past, preservation-related
deficiencies in the urban planning process, and preservation of
specific types of buildings. This collection offers a new
understanding of the richness and variety of mid-twentieth-century
U.S. architecture, landscape, and urbanism, and provides a detailed
analysis of both the imperatives for and the challenges involved in
preserving this legacy.
