Modern American Architecture

A lecture given by Jorge Otero-Pailos for the Monday, March 30th meeting of the course Modern American Architecture in Spring 2020.

This course is a survey of American Modern Architecture since the country’s first centennial. As America ascended to its current position of hegemony during the late 19th and 20th centuries, its architects helped refashion the built environment to serve the needs of a growing and ever-diverse population.
