Produktbeschreibung
Founded in 1836, Houston is now the countrys fourth-largest city. In the early 20th century, Houstons economy shifted from agriculture to oil, fueling the citys explosive growth in the following decades. Houston grabbed the reins and saw a building boom in commercial, residential, and civic architecture redefine the city and skyline. Modernism was a new and fresh architectural expression and the perfect complement to the citys can-do entrepreneurial spirit. The 1960s brought ground-breaking ceremonies for the National Aeronautics and Space Administrations (NASA) headquarters, while residents and tourists alike lined up to tour the revolutionary new Astrodome. Building Modern Houston tells the story of Houstons architecture during its transformation from Bayou City to Space City.
