Hardcover. Zustand: Used - Very Good. The Seagram building rises over New York's Park Avenue, seeming to float above the street with perfect lines of bronze and glass. Considered one of the greatest icons of twentieth-century architecture, the building was commissioned by Samuel Bronfman, founder of the Canadian distillery dynasty Seagram. Bronfman's daughter Phyllis Lambert was twenty-seven years old when she took over the search for an architect and chose Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969), a pioneering modern master of what he termed 'skin and bones' architecture. Mies, who designed the elegant, deceptively simple thirty-eight-story tower along with Philip Johnson (1906-2005), emphasized the beauty of structure and fine materials, and set the building back from the avenue, creating an urban oasis with the building's plaza. Through her choice, Lambert established her role as a leading architectural patron and singlehandedly changed the face of American urban architecture. 'Building Seagram' is a comprehensive personal and scholarly history of a major building and its architectural, cultural, and urban legacies. Lambert makes use of previously unpublished personal archives, company correspondence, and photographs to tell an insider's view of the debates, resolutions, and unknown dramas of the building's construction, as well as its crucial role in the history of modern art and architectural culture.

Commissioned during the mid-1950s by Seagram distilling magnate Samuel Bronfman, the tower emerged through Lambert's intervention as director of planning, enlisting Ludwig Mies van der Rohe alongside Philip Johnson. Chapters trace the project from early site acquisition and structural debates through the creation of the open pedestrian plaza, detailing how modernist ideals reshaped post-war corporate patronage and Manhattan's zoning landscape. Extensively illustrated w/ archival construction images, technical plans, correspondence facsimiles, and photographic studies of the plaza by Richard Pare, the monograph draws on Lambert's personal archives and the Canadian Centre for Architecture. Book design by Jeff Wincapaw sets the text in Minion Pro and Verlag on acid-free paper. Visual materials document structural engineering calculations, interior craftsmanship for the Four Seasons restaurant, and municipal preservation hearings. Supported by grants from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and the J. M. Kaplan Fund, the volume includes a foreword by Columbia University professor Barry Bergdoll alongside documentary appendixes transcribing foundational project letters. Chapters analyze how the collaboration between Mies van der Rohe, Johnson, and Lambert set a standard for International Style architecture, commercial real estate development, and modern urban planning. Researchers, architectural historians, and institutional libraries use the work as a primary-source record of mid-century corporate modernism.…
