Condition: GOOD Condition

James Ingo Freed's United States Holocaust Memorial Musuem is regarded as one of the late 20th century's most profound architectural statements.

Petroski reveals the science and engineering--not to mention the politics, egotism, and sheer magic--behind America's great bridges, particularly those constructed during the great bridge-building era starting in the 1870s and continuing through the 1930s. It is the story of the men and women who built the St. Louis, the George Washington, and the Golden Gate bridges, drawing not only on their mastery of numbers but on their gifts for persuasion and self-promotion. It is an account of triumphs and ignominious disasters (including the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which literally twisted itself apart ...

CAST-IRON ARCHITECTURE IN AMERICA

By: MARGOT GAYLE

Price: $25.00

Publisher: W.W. NORTON & COMPANY, INC.:

Seller ID: IM518128

ISBN: 0393730158

Binding: HC w/JA Large

Condition: GOOD Gift Inscribed

Nineteenth-century American inventor and entrepreneur James Bogardus was known for his unique grinding mill and other patented devices, but his enduring claim to fame is his cast-iron structures, forerunners of the modern skyscraper. A passionate advocate for iron's strength, economy, suitability for ornamentation, and fire resistance, he invented several new methods of construction; his buildings rose from New York to San Francisco and Havana. Modern interest in Bogardus stems from the historic preservation movement; his four surviving buildings, in New York, are recognized landmarks.
