Recenzii
"Architects, builders, and those with an interest in industrial history will appreciate this definitive book—revealing our practices from the earliest of times to the present in a narrative both entertaining and informative." –A. Peter Hilger, Morse Distinguished University Teacher, University of Minnesota
"Brian Bowen’s The American Construction Industry is a much-needed corrective to architectural history, placing contractors and builders at the center of the long story of building construction. Relying on his background in the industry and using illuminating examples of contracts, correspondence, and other key documents across eras, Bowen explains the combined effects of economics, the law, labor, and professional organization, among others, in realizing both grand monuments and everyday dwellings. Essential as a reference and enlightening as a narrative." –Thomas Leslie, Morrill Professor in Architecture, Iowa State University
"Professor Bowen’s manuscript provides important background and context for understanding the origins of the American construction industry. This meticulously researched book helps readers understand how the early craftsmen and builders of the colonial area evolved into the industry that has constructed the world’s largest and most sophisticated economy." –Brian Turmail, Vice President of Public Affairs and Strategic Initiatives, Associated General Contractors of America
