Architecture in the United States

In this book leading historian Dell Upton's revolutionizing interpretation examines American architecture in relation to five themes: community, nature, technology, money and art. In giving particular attention to indigenous, folk, ethnic, and popular architectures like Chaco Canyon, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Native American houses, as well as to the great monuments of traditional histories such as Jefferson's Monticello and Wright's Fallingwater, “Architecture in the United States” reveals the dazzling richness of America's human landscape.
