American Flourish is an Englishman's exploration of architecture and urbanism in the USA during its great coming of age, which for the purposes of sheer scope, amusement, variety and plain 'wow' - looks at the extraordinary 60 year period between 1885 -1945.
Through buildings, urban landmarks and icons of design, this blog looks at the point where the USA threw away the manners and habits of the European 19th Century and started owning the 20th Century.
Through architecture and urbanism it seeks to capture and illustrate the sheer energy, excitement and dynamism of a place in the process of remaking itself, of coming to terms with its scale and it's own possibility.
Enjoy!
