| Publisher Description: Showcasing prominent commercial structures and the talented architects who brought them to life, these pictorial histories contain outstanding photography of some of the leading cities in the United States. Offering insight into the diversity and progression of metropolitan architecture, different firms represented in this series discuss the influences found in their featured work. Illuminating the unique and defining characteristics of each building, the process that brought it to fruition, and the impact each structure had on the community at large, these artistic chronicles will delight lovers of architecture, travel, and urban living. History unfolds in this in-depth study of the region's most compelling commercial architecture, including Reliant Stadium, Bayou Place, and the Texas State Capitol. The rolling hills of Austin and the tropical climates of the Gulf Coast provide an exceptional canvas for the architecture of SHW Group, Powers Brown Architecture, Ziegler Cooper Architects, and Gignac Associates. |
