A Journey Through 20th-Centry Architecture
Geoffrey Goddard
Fans of mid-century modern ranch houses, googie-style buildings, and the neon of 50s diners will adore this book. This selection of architectural masterpieces roams the globe, though there is an emphasis on California. Buildings like the Chrysler Building are given the same loving attention as gas stations and coffee shops. Lovely photography, succinct descriptions of the building’s history, architects and current use. A really beautiful collection of unique and breathtaking architecture.
