Contemporary architecture in the U.S.A. today presents a fascinating interplay of a multitude of regionalisms and architectural traditions with current national and international trends. Accordingly, Collection: U.S. Architecture presents projects by smaller offices with a regional focus, as well as by globally operating stars. From the portraits of a variety of construction projects, including high rises, museums, country estates, sports complexes, and sacral buildings, emerges a picture that presents the special and unique characteristics that distinguish the architecture between Pacific and Atlantic.
