I have immense admiration for Sullivan as an architect, as a visionary, and as a free spirit. Sadly, almost none of these come across in this memoir from late in his life. The thought is unfocussed and the prose is mincing and unconvincing. Too bad ( ) no reviews | add a review
The famous American architect's fascinating look at the early years of his pioneering work, which led to his being called the "father of the skyscraper." Includes a wealth of projects, insights, and evaluations, as well as 34 plates. An essential tool in gaining an understanding of the roots of modern American architecture.
