Reviews
"Upton's text is the most intellectually discerning and socially relevant survey of the built environment in the United States." --E.G. Daves Rossell, Savannah College of Art and Design" The author's critical treatment of architecture in the United States makes American Architecture the most rigorous and engaging textbook on the market." --Kenny Cupers, University of Basel "Dell Upton has pioneered studying how human beings perceive the built environment through senses in addition to sight; and by that I mean, smell, sound, touch, and movement. Students love to learn about this kind of analysis, whether they want to be designers or historians." --Marta Gutman, City College of New York, "In comparison to other texts, Upton's encompasses a broader range of examples and is clearly oriented towards more diverse methodological approaches. It is the most intellectually discerning and socially relevant survey of the built environment in the United States." --Daves Russell, Savannah College of Art and Design, "Upton's text is the most intellectually discerning and socially relevant survey of the built environment in the United States." --E.G.

Synopsis
Leading historian Dell Upton's American Architecture: A Thematic History reveals the dazzling richness of America's human landscape. The text covers indigenous, folk, ethnic, and popular architectures like Chaco Canyon, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Native American houses while also exploring the great monuments of traditional histories like Jefferson's Monticello and Wright's Fallingwater. To make this text more useful for students, Upton outlines the modes of architectural knowledge--books, drawings, and models--that builders and scholars use to understand the built environment., Leading historian Dell Upton's Architecture in America reveals the dazzling richness of America's human landscape.
