American Architecture, Second Edition (World of Art)

This item was in very good shape. I ordered it as a textbook for a class on the History of American Architecture. Unfortunately, I had to drop the course so I never got to read much of the content. It seems like it would be a good reference book. I'm going to hang onto it in case I need it when the class comes back around. Thanks!

A good historical approach to major developments in American architecture. Good context with influence of European architecture plus influence of Native styles and Spanish-American. Bulk of book focuses on East Coast, West Coast and Chicago, as if nothing happened in the South or rest of Midwest.

A very concise and knowledgeable book.

Delighted with this book so far ,well written with an excellent insight into both the art of architecture and cultural traits of various settlements.
