American Icons: The Architecture of the United States

The development and expansion of cities in the United States over the past 150 years gave rise to some of the most ambitious and fastest-growing construction projects the world has ever seen. The landscape of cities like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago changed immeasurably as a result of decades of construction. Some of the world's most iconic architecture lies at the foundations of the U.S. and its cities.

Gestalten's coffee table book "American Icons" is a testament to the architectural masterpieces of the United States, from residential houses to skyscrapers, museums to airports and much more. It includes amazing works by famous architects Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright, John Lautner and many others.

Through detailed, professional photography and engaging readings by The New York Times writer Sam Lubell, American Icons unfolds the stories that make up American skylines, stories told by some of the greatest architects of the 20th century.
