About: Traces the evolution of American architecture from the late nineteenth century to the present day, arguing that America's unique blend of cultures, sensibilities, and aspirations has shaped architectural development and examining how changes in style, from early skyscrapers, to Art Deco in the 1920s, to today's modernist trends, reflect the social and political issues of their time.
