Summary: | A multimedia exploration of the morphology of architecture in the American Southwest as defined by evolving modes of transportation. In examining advances in transportation, the book asks how we have come to acquiesce to the monotonous, isolating, and aesthetically bankrupt landscape of suburbia. It also casts predictions about how the future built landscape will look as it continues to adapt to patterns of human movement. Eine multimediale Erkundung der Morphologie der Architektur des amerikanischen Südwestens. Geleitet von der Betrachtung des sich entwickelnden Transportwesens stellt das Buch die Frage, wie Amerika sich mit der monotonen und ästhetisch banalen Umgebung der Vorstädte abgefunden haben. Eine reich bebilderte Reise durch Architektur und Landschaft der Vereinigten Staaten. |
