Description

Book Synopsis
Of all building types, the skyscraper strikes observers as the most modern, in terms not only of height but also boldness, scale, ingenuity, and daring. Skyscraper Gothic brings together renowned scholars to address the medievalist skyscraper, from the flying buttresses to the dizzying spires, and from the Chicago Tribune Tower to the Woolworth Building in Manhattan.

Trade Review
This collection is well written, thoroughly researched, and accompanied by attractive and useful illustrations."" - Michael J. Lewis, Williams College, author of American Art and Architecture
