Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 388 pages. Dj wornWhat is the pattern of America? How did we mark our land throughout our histo ry with towns and farms, factories and railroad lines? And what does all this ac tivity say about who we are and what we have been? In this book, a beautifully i llustrated companion volume to a new PBS series, one of our most highly acclaime d architectural historians confronts these questions as he takes us on a thought ful and wonderfully engaging tour of America's built environment. In preparing t he series and the book, Spiro Kostof set out to see America as one design, made from a whole cloth, and to review the enduring themes that determined the main f eatures of its landscape. Each chapter, like each program in the series, focuses on one of these themes: the house, the workplace, the street, the public realm , the shape of the land. Kostof's curiosity touches on everything from suburban tracts to canal systems, from company towns to office towers. His aim throughout is to help us see America and not to take anything we see for granted. With Kos tof as our guide, such apparent banalities as factory windows and street pavemen ts take on a new significance, as do more obvious monuments, from state capitols to dams and long-span bridges. Embracing a truly democratic view of his subject , Kostof regards all buildings, the standard and the fancy, as worthy of study, and his consistent emphasis is on their social importance--who uses them and how they are used. From first chapter to last, Kostof brilliantly conveys the proce sses of designing, building, and using by which we have imprinted the landscape throughout the course of our long tenancy. In the ways we use what is designed a nd built, in the demands we make and the changes we bring about, Kostof writes.…
