Description:
"In Tower and Office, Spanish architects Inaki Abalos and Juan Herreros look at the role and impact
of
advanced building technologies in American
architecture
since World War II. The war, they claim, marked the end
of
the first cycle
of
modernism, challenging the belief that technological progress alone could produce a perpetually better future. At the same time, the war was the source
of
powerful new structural models and construction methods. The authors examine the ways these technologies have been inflected over the last half century by more subjective and integrated processes
of
spatial organization."--BOOK JACKET.
