Cass Gilbert, Life and Work
Book (italiano):
Gilbert (1859-1934) was a believer in the benefits that architecture could bestow on the environment and culture of American life; as a leading exemplar of the City Beautiful movement he helped shape a civic architecture that was dedicated to the social and artistic reform of the nation's urban life. This collection of perspectives from architectural historians, practicing architects, and specialists outside the profession traces Gilbert's career from its origins in St Paul, where he built his masterpiece in the Minnesota State Capitol, to his civic designs in New York, including the US Custom House, the Woolworth Building, and many other significant projects.
