Résumé:
In the past 30 years, a number of stadium projects have been completed that have challenged perceived notions about this building type as a site for architectural innovation and complexity. Clients that would once have turned to large firms have instead hired A-list and Pritzker-Prize-winning architects to design their new stadia.

Résumé:
Benjamin Flowers explores the role of culture and ideology in shaping the construction of skyscrapers and the way wealth and power have operated to reshape the urban landscape. Flowers narrates this modern tale by closely examining the creation and reception of three significant sites: the Empire State Building, the Seagram Building, and the World Trade Center. He demonstrates how architects and their clients employed a diverse range of modernist styles to engage with and influence broader cultural themes in American society: immigration, the Cold War, and the rise of American global capitalism.
