| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The 20th century brought several new forms of architecture to the United States, all under the broader umbrella of Modern Architecture. The challenge for architects of the 20th century was to reconcile the principles underlying architectural design with rapid technological advancement and modernization. This book takes a look at three prominent American architects of the modern movement and how the influence of Edward Larrabee Barnes, Welton Becket and Pietro Belluschi changed the field of architecture forever.
