Architecture and the 'special relationship' : the American influence on post-war British architecture
"Architecture and the 'Special Relationship' is the first in-depth account of America's influence on British architecture and urbanism. The story begins in the mid-nineteenth century but focuses on the intensified transatlantic interchange after the Second World War. Rejecting crude terms like 'Americanization', the book reveals many strands of influence which indicate how the creation of cultural hybrids became a major preoccupation for British architects. Crucial in spurring this were buildings constructed in Britain which were designed by leading American architects such as Eero Saarinen, Gorden Bunshaft, Kevin Roche, and, in later years, Cesar Pelli and Venturi Scott Brown."
