Exploring the intersection of architecture, landscape, infrastructure and planning in the redevelopment of the civic realm, American City X looks at the impact of strategic design interventions, or opportunistic urbanism.
The premise of the work is that innovative and compelling architecture can change the way a city is perceived and enhance the way it functions through incremental growth based on available assets. These projects are notable both for the caliber of designers and the speed with which they have emerged, and are significant in demonstrating the possibilities for smaller post-industrial cities. With Syracuse, New York, as a case study and working with a range of clients of a variety of approaches, these projects are driven by academic, civic and non-profit groups, as well as private real estate concerns, often working in partnership. From landscapes to building and infrastructure, institutional to residential, renovation to new construction, the work addresses issues of sustainability, material and formal experimentation and programmatic invention.

Fantastic and speedy service
A brilliant book about a nearly-forgotten band, but thankfully this book rectifies that. Written by the surviving drummer and bassist, it is full of stories about their time in Hamburg & touring round Germany & Japan. A must for anyone who loves the Liverpool Merseybeat scene and the hard-driving music it produced.
I’m delighted that I bought a copy of David Hockney’s past icon work. Not many pages but so worthwhile! If only there were 10 stars, I would have rated this publication so highly!
Always exactly as described and delivered within 2 days! Beyond my expectations, super happy with the books and the service
The book was quite a hefty one for the price. The photographs were magnificent portraying city scenes at night when human life was absent, giving the places a life of their own.
It just wants me to take my camera phone out and explore the city streets I've in,at night.
Great value
So well worth buying. Full of interest for Beatles lovers, Easy to read text, well laid out with many iconic photographs. Very please I bought a copy.
Another great book I couldn’t resist adding to my collection from BooksaboutArt. Full of innovative designs, well illustrated throughout, it gives an expansive picture of western architecture. A hugely enjoyable book.
Lovely book, wonderful quality, not read it yet but looking forward to it.
Great gift
Now a frequent flyer, I've yet to be disappointed, a wholly brilliant concept that just makes sense.
Lovely book with top quality pictures and a wonderful overview of all aspects of Tom’s art.
Also comes complete with a thought provoking introduction from Tom, and a wonderful critique/synopsis of Tom’s background art philosophy from James Fox.
A must buy!
I was delighted to find the particular books I purchased and this is the place to look if you want a book about art. I will be visiting again.
