Item description from seller

The history of architecture is examined in this study of Louis Sullivan, one of the most significant early designers of the skyscraper. Acknowledging renewed interest in Sullivan's work, this illustrated volume explores the role of ornament as a humanizing element in structure. 'One of the best-designed architecture books to appear in recent memory . . ., handsomely illustrated with a fuller selection of historical views of Sullivan's work than can be found in any other book now in print, and supplemented by a fine new set of color photographs of Sullivan's most important surviving buildings.' Martin Filler, New York Review of Books Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.
