By Philip Jodidio.

In the 1990’s American architecture has moved on to two trends: One, represented by Frank O. Gehry, Peter Eisenman, Eric Owen Moss and Morphosis, seeks to break up the standard Modernist forms. Others, like Helmut Jahn and Arquitectonica, have chosen to use the modernist vocabulary in new ways. This book shows the development of American architecture by tracing specific cases. The most accurate image of the current state of architecture must be the sum of the contributions of outstanding creators.
