5.0 out of 5 stars
A classic in architectural history!,
By Reader (Louisville, Kentucky) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Louis Sullivan: Prophet of Modern Architecture (Norton Books for Architects & Designers) (Hardcover)
Timothy J. Samuelson, Curator of Architecture at the Chicago Historical Society, has done a marvelous job at bringing out a beautiful new edition of this classic on modernist pioneer Louis Sullivan. Samuelson has written a perceptive and entertaining introduction to the book, and given an invaluable revised list of Sullivan's work along with vastly improved illustrations. Hugh Morrison first published this groundbreaking study in 1935, and it is still the starting place for learning about Sullivan. Morrison's writing is fresh and entertaining, and moves along at times almost like a novel. More importantly, Morrison's analysis and history of Sullivan's architecture remains solid and convincing.
