Nicholas Adams is professor emeritus of architectural history at Vassar College.
“Bunshaft might not have had much to say about his own projects but
thankfully Adams does, and he provides excellent readings of
individual projects in chapters that parse out the stylistic phases
of the former’s work.”—Anthony Paletta, Metropolis
“Adams marshals a treasure trove of archival materials . . . to
disentangle myths and misconceptions about Bunshaft that have
clouded our understanding of both his role at SOM and his place in
20th-century American culture.”—Jeffrey Lieber, Architectural
Histories
“Adams has laid out an entirely original account, which in its
scope encompasses art and architectural history, biography, and
cultural and social history. Spanning 80 years, his book brings an
expansive cast of people to life, chronicles changing styles and
mores, and resets our understanding of many of Bunshaft’s
buildings.”—Jeffrey Lieber, Architectural Histories
“Adams offers a genuinely new portrait of Gordon Bunshaft and fresh
observations about American corporate architecture and practice at
midcentury.”—Mary McLeod, Columbia University
