AuthorsLive: Beaux Arts Architecture with Architect Phillip Dodd

Dodd is a leading international authority of classical architecture, and as both architect and renowned educator of design, in this book he showcases 20 glorious architectural landmarks across NYC. An American Renaissance: Beaux-Arts Architecture in New York City recounts not only the fascinating stories of some of New York’s most famous and significant Beaux-Arts buildings, it also recalls the lives of those who commissioned, designed, and built them. Pages are rich in Jonathan Wallen's full-color photography of landmark exteriors and lavish interiors (often rarely seen). It’s a must for all collectors and followers of Beaux-Arts architecture and design, the Gilded Age, and the history of NYC.
