The Shape of Things to Come; Montreal Exhibit Looks at American Influence on Architecture
|
To inaugurate an ambitious series of exhibitions about "the
American Century," the Canadian Center for Architecture is presenting
"Scenes of the World to Come" -- a compelling, fresh take on the old
question of cultural balance between Europe and the United States.
The conventional wisdom has been that while the United States has
contributed, say, Coca-Cola and the atomic bomb to world culture, the
better ideas always came from Europe. According to this version,
modern architecture and planning were born in the Old World -- with a
bit of an early boost from America's Midwestern grain ...
