ArchitectureWeek Description
How a building and the reaction to it signaled the end of an era; the transformation of architectural practice in the context of New York City culture and politics. In The Pan Am Building and the Shattering of the Modernist Dream, Meredith Clausen tells the story as both history and cautionary tale -- a case study of how not to plan and execute a large-scale urban project that seems especially relevant in light of the World Trade Center and the ongoing discussions over what should be built in its place.
