About this title

Synopsis

Scrutinizes the skyscraper as art, as business, and as the product of politics and speculation, surveying its history and its probable future developments

Review

"[Huxtable's] clear, sharp prose penetrates the haze of bad excuses, good intentions and absurd ideologies in which so many bad decisions about the shape of the world are hatched. . . . Since Lewis Mumford stopped writing about the subject, Huxtable has been our strongest voice on both the aesthetics and the ethics of our surroundings."--Thomas Hine, "Philadelphia Inquirer
