Summary:

"Land precedes architecture: this is one of the basic assumptions underlying building culture today. But this assumption rests on a fictional vision of land as an avalable suface, 'a piece' of which has to be secured before anything can be designed or built. This fiction plays a key role in the life of frontier nations. It is particularly essential to the history of architecture in the United States"--Cover page 4.
