Books like Tower and office by Iñaki Abalos


In *Tower and Office*, Spanish architects Iñaki Abalos and Juan Herreros analyze the influence of advanced building technologies on United States architecture from the aftermath of World War II to the present. They argue that the war ended the first wave of modernism by showing that technological progress alone could not endlessly improve the built environment, yet it also generated powerful new structural models and construction techniques. The book traces how these innovations have been infused over five decades with increasingly subjective and integrated spatial organization, exploring their impact on architectural theory, criticism, and practice.
