Product Description
by Daniel Kaven (Author)
A
multimedia exploration of the morphology of architecture in the
American Southwest as defined by evolving modes of transportation. In
examining advances in transportation, the book asks how we have come to
acquiesce to the monotonous, isolating, and aesthetically bankrupt
landscape of suburbia. It also casts predictions about how the future
built landscape will look as it continues to adapt to patterns of human
movement.
