- Summary:
- Architecture grows out of a people's shared past. But in America, where ties to ancient cultures have been broken, we have individually and collectively invented a usable past. Architect Robert A.M. Stern investigates the influences of English, Classical, and Gothic architectural styles and their alteration by American architects.
