Join photographer Geoffrey Goddard on a road trip through 20th-century architecture—from neon-lit art deco theaters and Route 66 motels to futuristic modernist banks, Googie gas stations, and brutalist utopias. Architreasures shares unparalleled modern-day views of architecturally intriguing structures in Miami, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, and other US cities, as well as England, France, Belgium, Australia, and New Zealand.
• The visual feast of heritage architecture from 1911 through 1984 showcases the buildings in chronological order of their construction, allowing readers to follow the evolution of 20th-century design movements—from the Jazz Age’s art deco to the brutalism of the 1970s and ’80s.
• This architectural tour through the lens of Goddard showcases not only some well-known buildings but also many that are more obscure.
• By featuring structures created to fill a variety of needs, Architreasures illustrates the role of architecture in reflecting and shaping societal ideas and aspirations, acting as both art and functional engineering.
• In addition to large-format photos and detail shots, the book provides information on each structure’s architect, year completed, and location, as well as a short history that tells the story of its creation, its original purpose, and its current use.
Featuring nearly 200 stunning images of 135 breathtaking structures, this book beautifully presents the case for why preserving our built environment is historically, culturally, and aesthetically important.
