Iconic architecture that shapes the American skylines.
The development and expansion of cities in the United States over the last 150 years gave rise to one of the most ambitious and fastest growing building projects the world had ever seen. The landscape of cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and others, transformed immeasurably as a consequence of decades of construction, and some of the most iconic architecture in the world sits in the foundations of the US and its cities.
American Icons is a testament to the architectural masterpieces of the United States, from residential homes to skyscrapers, from museums to airports, and beyond. It features astounding works by renowned architects Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright, John Lautner, and many others.
Through detailed, professional photography, as well as captivating reads by The New York Times writer Sam Lubell, American Icons unfolds the stories that form the American skylines, stories told by some of the greatest architects of the twentieth century.
