�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This kaleidoscopic survey of architecture and design traces the federal government's role in shaping America's built environment from L'Enfant's baroque plan for Washington, D.C. to the space-age technology of Cape Canaveral. Its rich exhibit of documents and photographic material accompanied by a lively text reveal the U.S. government to be one of the most active, and at times most creative, patrons of architecture and design.

Cr�ticas

"With over 900 photographs, many quotations from historic sources, and a most readable text, this book puts the knotty problem of federal design into clear, historic perspective."--Wolf Von Eckardt, "Cleveland Plain Dealer"
