American Urban Architecture by Wayne Attoe

Wayne Attoe and Donn Logan propose a specifically American theory of urban design. They see the characteristic features of American cities - the grid, loft buildings, distinctive styling - as opportunities for an American rather than a European-derived urbanism. Their paradigm of urban regeneration should interest practising architects and urban policymakers as well as students of urban design.
Wayne Attoe is Professor of Architecture at Louisiana State University, a practicing architect, and the author of Skylines: Understanding and Molding Urban Silhouettes and Architecture and the Critical Imagination. Donn Logan is a founding partner of ELS/Elbasani & Logan Architects and has completed many downtown plans and major architectural projects around the nation and abroad. From 1966 to 1986 he was a professor of architecture at the University of California at Berkeley.
