Summary:
The book serves as a histirical survey of architectural lighting throughout the twentieth century and also examines the cultural, social, and artistic issues surrounding this phenomenon. During the 1920's and 1930's architectural floodlighting was at its most intense, considered an essentially modern abstract art form that crossed the boundaries between film, architecture, and painting. "Architecture of the Night" explores this dynamic period in depth, considers its impact today, and addresses the new issues that confront contemporary lighting, such as "light pollution", conservation, and aesthetics. The book features close to 200 illustrations and examines 100 examples of building illumination, including the Paris Opera House (1880), the Gas and Electric Building, Denver (1910), the Empire State Building, New York (1931), the Seagram Building, New York (1958), the Lloyds Building, London (1988) and the Anzeiger Hochhaus, Hanover (2000).

Summary:
For many Americans at the turn of the twentieth century and into the 1920s, the city of New York conjured dark images of crime, poverty, and the desperation of crowded immigrants. In How New York Became American, 1890--1924 Angela Blake explores how advertising professionals and savvy business leaders "reinvented" the city, creating a brand image of New York that capitalized on the trend toward pleasure travel. Blake examines the ways in which these early boosters built on the attention drawn to the city and its exotic populations to craft an image of New York City as America writ urban -- a place where the arts flourished, diverse peoples lived together boisterously but peacefully, and where one could enjoy a visit.
