A multimedia exploration of the
morphology of architecture in the American Southwest as defined by
evolving modes of transportation. In examining advances in
transportation, the book asks how we have come to acquiesce to the
monotonous, isolating, and aesthetically bankrupt landscape of suburbia.
It also casts predictions about how the future built landscape will
look as it continues to adapt to patterns of human movement.


  • A portrait of human movement as related to the uninspired architecture spawned by transportation
  • A journey through time, from the Zuni pueblos to today's bland logo buildings
  • 400 images provide insights into the making of the United States
