Description
The impact of cars, trains, and planes on our landscape, buildings, and culture has been well documented, but an account of the history of elevators, escalators, and moving sidewalks has not previously been fully explored. The National Building Museum has partnered with Merrell Publishers to create a landmark publication documenting the extraordinary impact of those methods of human conveyance on the urban and suburban landscape, building types, and culture worldwide. Designed by J. Abbott Miller, 'Up, Down, Across: Elevators, Escalators, and Moving Sidewalks' is a handsome 224-page, soft cover monograph accompanying the exhibition. Through seven essays, it documents the design, function, portrayal, and perception of these devices throughout the world. Engagingly and authoritatively written and stunningly illustrated with widely sourced images that range from historical prints, photographs, and movie stills to the latest computer renderings, 'Up, Down, Across' makes a long-overdue and valuable addition to urban and architectural studies and cultural history.
