Résumé:
For more than thirty years, aerial photographer Alex S. MacLean has portrayed the history and evolution of the American land, from great desert spaces to agricultural patterns to city grids. Trained as an architect and having a close involvement with landscape heritage protection issues, MacLean’s pictures record the universal history of town and countryside, and raise the issue of the landscape’s future. Here he turns his camera on the colourful, exhilarating world of America at play. From the beauty of perfectly symmetric sports stadiums to the spaghetti-like tangles of theme parks to picnickers on a stretch of splendid beach, he illuminates how we inhabit the land and the potential for modern planning to create spectacular environments. Susan Yelavich contributes the telling introduction.

Résumé:
"Inside design now" looks at American design in the new millennium, providing a fascinating tour of cutting-edge trends in architecture, interiors, landscape, fashion, graphics, and new media. Featuring eighty emerging and established designers – including 2 x 4, Mike Mills, Peter Eisenman, Fuse Project, Tod Machover, Paula Scher, Jennifer Siegal, and Isaac Mizrahi – "Inside design now" illustrates the most innovative and provocative thinking in design today. Essays explore the role of the designer in today’s culture, contemporary ideas of beauty and functionality, and what the future holds in the realm of design. Sensuous materials, lush patterns, and exquisite details come together with new technologies, pop imagery, and fresh approaches to scale, colour, and construction in the works reproduced in this volume. This book accompanies the exhibition of the same name at the Cooper Hewitt Museum of National Design beginning in April 2003.
