Kurzbeschreibung
O'Gorman discusses the individual and collective achievement of the recognized trinity of American architecture: Henry Hobson Richardson (1838-86), Louis Sullivan (1856-1924), and Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959). He traces the evolution of forms created during these architects' careers, emphasizing the interrelationships among them and focusing on the designs and executed buildings that demonstrate those interrelationships. O'Gorman also shows how each envisioned the building types demanded by the growth of nineteenth-century cities and suburbs--the downtown skyscraper and the single-family home. [A] brilliant analysis ...a major contribution to our understanding of the beginnings of modern American architecture."--David Hamilton Eddy, Times Higher Education Supplement.

Einleitungssatz
When H. H. Richardson (fig. 1) stepped off the transatlantic liner at New York in October 1865, he had just turned twenty-seven years old, had just ended an educational exile in Paris begun before the outbreak of the Civil War, and had decided to begin his career in architecture, not in his native New Orleans nor in his adopted Boston but in New York City, the metropolis fast becoming the financial and cultural capital of the United States.

Excellent Overview & Analysis
1. Januar 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
A concise and thoughtful work; a scholarly yet very easy read.
O'Gorman's positioning of Richardson's work as a manifestation of Emerson's call for 'an American beauty' to arise from the 'shop and the mill' as well as the 'field and roadside' is spot-on.
This approach resonated through the work of both Sullivan and Wright and, to me, indicates a path that is still relevant (yet often missing) in American architecture today.
