Finally available again, this classic by the national foremost architectural historian is a landmark book for every student and interested reader alike. A classic book authored by the foremost architectural historian in America, this fully illustrated history of American architecture and city planning is based on Vincent Scully's conviction that architecture and city planning are inseparably linked and must therefore be treated together. He defines architecture as a continuing dialogue between generations which creates an environment across time. This definitive survey extends beyond the cities themselves to the American scene as a whole, which has inspired the reasonable balanced, closed and ordered forms, and above all the probity, that he feels typifies American architecture. | American Architecture and Urbanism by Vincent Scully, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
