American Masterworks
Throughout the 20th century, America has provided fertile ground for innovative residential architecture, from the Shingle Style pioneered on the East Coast in the late 19th century to the deconstructivist experiments in California today. This volume presents America’s finest masterpieces of modern architecture, featuring houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Eliel Saarinen, Walter Gropius, Philip Johnson, Charles Moore, Louis Kahn and Michael Graves. The individual elements of each house, both exterior and interior, are illustrated, and complementing these are selections of the architects’ plans and drawings. Each house is explored in depth, with a discussion of its context in the progression of American architecture, its role in the architect’s oeuvre, and its broader relationship to the history of 20th- century American cultural and artistic movements.
