(Starred review.) Publisher's noteA forefront and passionate critic evaluates architecture as a pivotal and controversial component of twentieth-century culture, in a collection of articles that covers such topics as Le Corbusier's Carpenter Center at Harvard, the mid-century shifts in style, and her selections for best and worst architectural examples. 25,000 first printing. AnnotationThe esteemed architectural critic Ada Louise Huxtable changed the way people see and experience the buildings around them. This major collection of her work draws from four decades of writing passionately about buildings, cities, and people. Huxtable astutely charts the changing cityscape, championing modern styles of the last half of the 20th century, while also critiquing both power and largesse. Some of the pieces reflect her affection for her hometown of New York City, while others chronicle significant developments in architecture worldwide. All have Huxtable's signature ease of style and her regard for things that last, whether they be made of iron, glass, and steel or fine words, sentences, and paragraphs.
