Portmans America & Other Speculations Mostafavi Mohsen
A journey through the world of one of the most daring US architectsWith photographs by Iwan BaanCo-published by Harvard University Graduate School of Design.Combining the talents of an architect, artist, and developer, John Portman was able to embark on a series of large-scale building projects--megastructures--that radically redefined the relationship of architecture to the city and its citizens. Finally, the repertoire of Portman's buildings is analyzed in meticulous detail and used by a group of students from the Harvard Graduate School of Design as a catalyst for a host of divergent and new architectural speculations.Moshen Mostafavi is Dean of Portman's own voice and ideas complement the contributions of others, including new photographs by Iwan Baan, to present a more complex and nuanced reading of both the architect and his architecture.
