About the Item
Le Patrimoine Industriel des Etats-Unis (The Industrial Heritage of The United-States), French book by Louis Bergeron and Maria Teresa Maiullari-Pontois, 2000.
Since the creation of the United States more than two centuries ago, the American dream, linked to the myths of conquest and entrepreneurship, has remained alive, and even when, as here, it is a matter of remains of large-scale industrialization, the fascination with excess and audacity remains.
This book takes you on an impressive journey across American industrial heritage, though it's not an exhaustive inventory from the water mills of New England to the enormous steel complexes of Pennsylvania and the automobile factories of Detroit, passing through the mining deposits of Alaska and the port facilities of Buffalo or New York.
The affirmation of American industrial power has never been so visible as in these gigantic constructions. Today, as numerous buildings are abandoned, the question of their preservation and rehabilitation arises. The United States is also a country where the immensity of the distances to be covered posed particular problems for engineers and manufacturers. As a result, means of communication (bridges, canals, railways, and port facilities) occupy a special place in the American imagination, and the reader will discover an astonishing catalog of bridges from different eras and legendary stations. Warehouses, silos, and industrial buildings were also an opportunity for American architects, including the famous Albert Kahn, to find solutions that were both functional and brought a new aesthetic to constraints of a unique magnitude than at the time world.
Thanks to photographs from the American Inventory Service and the photographic campaigns of four professional artists (Joseph Elliott, Jet Lowe, Sandy Noyes, and Gerald Weinstein), this work offers a different reading of American history over the last three centuries. Through the magnifying mirror effect of this book, the question of the future of European industrial buildings is resurfacing.
This is a beautiful coffee table art book.
