Klappentext zu „Architecture of Normal “
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.

Pressezitat
"In his new book, Architecture of Normal (through Birkhäuser), Portland-based architect Daniel Kaven explores the contrast between the grandeur of the American landscape and the underwhelming architecture of its suburban strip malls, fast-food chains, motels, and tract housing." (Rachel Gallaher in GRAY magazine, 03.2022) ***
"Architecture of Normal: The Colonization of the American Landscape reads like an enthralling textbook-a breezy history teeming with photography, original artwork, and timelines-even as its author offers a more cautionary take on what we have wrought." (Brian Libby, Metropolis)
***
"Kaven has crafted a thoroughly researched and well-reasoned treatise in which he argues that historical eras' dominant modes of transportation-walking on foot, riding horses, trains, cars, and airplanes-have inexorably influenced our public and private spaces." (Richard Speer, The Democracy Chain)
***
"The book blends text and extensive imagery to document and reflect on the impact that the evolution of transport has had in the country: accelerating urbanisation and enabling urban sprawl, carving up rural landscapes, and colonising places with cars and strip malls." (Francesca Perry, ICON Magazine)
