At the forefront of national and international change, Pittsburgh has long been portrayed as a place for innovative architecture. From its origins as a fort built in 1753 at the urging of a twenty-one-year-old George Washington, through its industrial boom, and into contemporary times, when it has become a pioneer for the ideals and philosophy of environmentally friendly architecture, the city has a history of development that exemplifies the transformative nature of America's built environment. With The Buildings of Pittsburgh, we now have a substantive reference book (organized by area, with subsets of geographical entries) that relates the architectural history of this ever-changing city up to the present day.

Franklin Toker examines Pittsburgh's architectural transformations from its early architecture following the Federal and Gothic Revival styles, to the city's importation in the mid-nineteenth century of new styles in the Romantic tradition, to industrial Pittsburgh with all its factories and huge institutional buildings, and finally to the city's environmentally conscious renaissance that began in the mid-twentieth century. In doing so, he shows why Pittsburgh has consistently been rated among the top three American cities for buildings by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and how the city once famous for embracing industry and pollution is now preaching the gospel of clean air and "green" architecture.

Stylish and good fit.

Very pretty, and they’re the perfect size for my face, sitting comfortably on my face. No tilting to the side like some glasses I’ve worn.

Great quality
Color: Brown, Lens Width: 37 Millimeters
I normally like to try on sunglasses but these were a deal on the Prime days and I gave them a chance and am so happy I did! They fit really well being not too big and not too small, and they also aren't tight against my head. They came with a case to keep them from being scratched which I truly appreciate. Excellent value for the price.
