Synopsis
The Midwest finally gets its due through essays penned by architects and critics, who shine a much-deserved spotlight on the region's architecture, from its celebrated landmarks to its lesser-known projects.
Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright may be the Midwest's (and the nation's) most famous architects, but the region has always been fertile ground for both master and amateur builders. Through a gorgeous array of photographs and short essays, Midwest Architecture Journeys takes readers on a trip to visit some of the region's most inventive buildings by architects such as Bertrand Goldberg, Bruce Goff, David Haid, Earl Young, and Lillian Leenhouts. It also includes stops at less obvious but equally daring sites, such as:
- The Cahokia mounds
- Buffalo grain silos
- Flint parking lots
- Dayton flea markets
- Fermilab
- New Glarus restaurants
- Minneapolis underground buildings
- Bronzeville churches
- Pruitt-Igoe public housing
- Cleveland's abandoned warehouses.
This vital collection of essays, full of stunning photographs, proves that what might seem flat is actually monumental, and what we assume to be boring is brimming with experimentation.
The perfect coffee table book that's also perfect for your next road trip.

Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. New oversized hardcover (8.2 x 10.1 inches) in new dust jacket. Pages are clean and free of marks or underlining. Includes high quality B&W photos. 287 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright may be the Midwest's (and the nation's) most famous architects, but the region has always been a fertile ground for builders, master and amateur. Midwest Architecture Journeys takes readers on a trip to visit some of the region's most inventive buildings by architects such as Bertrand Goldberg, Bruce Goff, and Lillian Leenhouts. It also includes stops at less obvious but equally daring and defining sites, such as indigenous mounds, grain silos, parking lots, flea markets, and abandoned warehouses. This anthology is filled with the history of less-heralded works from canonical designers like Wright and Sullivan, but there are also stories that resonate with contemporary appraisals of the role and value of architecture today. There are the patterns of gentrification and displacement seen in African-American neighborhoods in Chicago and Pittsburgh, and subterranean strategies for dealing with cataclysmic climate change. There's the violent erasure and enforced invisibility of public housing, ironically needed now more than ever. Flea markets get a second look as sites of an increasingly globalized and impersonally abstracted economy. And a few architects find ways to be inspired by alternative economic structures that are now returning to the cultural forefront. Throughout, there's the wide-open accessibility of this history and these buildings unique to the Midwest: college students camping out in drafty Wright houses, churches made from hat factories, and Louis Sullivan banks in small towns. Through dozens of essays written by architects, critics, and journalists, Midwest Architecture Journeys argues that what might seem flat is actually monumental, and what we assume to be boring is brimming with experimentation.
