| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Architecture, in many ways, defines a location. It shapes how it is perceived, how it is utilized, and the role it plays in civilization and society. This book presents a chronological look at some of the most influential and important architects in American history, from Thomas Jefferson to I.M. Pei and many in between. Their careers, influences, stylistic elements and major buildings are among the many subjects discussed. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
