This short history of American architecture is concerned, in part, with this dualism, and it is written to introduce the student and the interested observer to the major developments that have shaped the American-built environment from the arrival of the Europeans to the present. It sketches the impact of interrelated changes in conceptual imagery, style, building technology, and town planning theory.
