Sullivan's City: The Meaning of Ornament for Louis Sullivan (Norton Books for Architects & Designers) Book
Explores the idea that Louis Sullivan's ornament was central to his contribution as architect and city shaper.

After 1900, as his career declined, it served to identify his buildings and the humane conception they encapsulated in an increasingly hostile cityscape.

Stunning new color photographs illuminate this extended essay on how Sullivan's ornament shaped the city.Read More
