Synopsis

An illustrated guidebook for every architecture enthusiast and design professional. There is no better way to appreciate architecture than to see it. This compact book takes readers through 250 important buildings, from the canonized masterpieces of Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe to Richard Meier's Getty Center. It provides maps, architectural and historical information, addresses, phone numbers, and visitor hours--everything needed to understand the structures and plan a trip to see them. Previously published in hardcover under the title The Whitney Guide to 20th Century American Architecture.

About this title

Review:

A meaty and tantalizing guide for travellers and a distilled survey for architecture students. Entries are arranged chronologically by date of completion and are cross-referenced by architect and location. Each building is illustrated with a photo or drawing, and the text tells about its construction and enduring influences. Visiting information is included. -- Book News, Inc., 1 November 1993
