In doing so, it sheds important new light on the ways in which mechanical engineering has been assimilated into the culture of architecture as one facet of its broader modernist project.Tracing the development and architectural integration of air-conditioning from its origins in the late nineteenth century to the advent of the environmental movement in the early 1970s, Joseph M. Siry shows how the incorporation of mechanical systems into modernism?s discourse of functionality profoundly shaped the work of some of the movement?s leading architects, such as Dankmar Adler, Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Gordon Bunshaft, and Louis Kahn. For them, the modernist ideal of functionality was incompletely realized if it did not wholly assimilate heating, cooling, ventilating, and artificial lighting. Bridging the history of technology and the history of architecture, Siry discusses air-conditioning?s technical and social history and provides case studies of buildings by the master architects who brought this technology into the conceptual and formal project of modernism.A monumental work by a renowned expert in American modernist architecture, this book asks us to see canonical modernist buildings through a mechanical engineering?oriented lens. It will be especially valuable to scholars and students of architecture, modernism, the history of technology, and American history. 410 0$aBuildings, landscapes, and societies. 606 $aArchitecture$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00813346 606 $aAir conditioning$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00802264 606 $aARCHITECTURE / Buildings / General$2bisacsh 606 $aArchitecture$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAir conditioning$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aHistory. 615 7$aArchitecture. 615 7$aAir conditioning. 615 7$aARCHITECTURE / Buildings / General 615 0$aArchitecture$xHistory 615 0$aAir conditioning$xHistory 676 $a697.9309730904 700 $aSiry$b Joseph$f1956-$01218565 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910554215203321 996 $aAir-Conditioning in Modern American Architecture, 1890?1970$92817945 997 $aUNINA
