Description:

Power and Style is a trenchant analysis of twentieth-century architecture and its relationship to civic, corporate, and individual power.
Throughout, he offers critiques of the buildings themselves - these reflections, as he sees it, of America's changing socioeconomic structure. This is an invaluable book on modern U.S. architecture, which demonstrates, in the finest tradition of cultural history, whom architecture serves, how, and for what reasons.
