The development and expansion of cities in the United States over the last 150 years gave
rise to one of the most ambitious and fastest growing building projects the world had ever
seen. The landscape of cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and others,
transformed immeasurably as a consequence of decades of construction, and some of the
most iconic architecture in the world sits in the foundations of the US and its cities. American
Icons is a testament to the architectural masterpieces of the United States, from residential
homes to skyscrapers, from museums to airports, and beyond. It features astounding works
by renowned architects Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright, John Lautner, and many
others.
