Celem tej pracy jest osadzenie współczesnej architektury w continuum cywilizacji, dlatego autor pozostaje przy renesansowym terminie: sztuka budowania - res aedificatoria. Stawia tezę o istnieniu współczesnego paradygmatu, który pozwala porozumiewać się we wspólnym języku twórcom, teoretykom i odbiorcom architektury.
This monograph surveys thirty of the most iconic buildings designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the legendary American architecture firm, since its founding in 1936. Along with such architects as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, SOM is largely credited with propagating the Internationalist style of architecture that filled the New York skyline with such midcentury masterworks as Lever House (1952) and Chase Manhattan Plaza (1961). Before the current age of the super skyscraper, SOM designed what was for almost thirty years the world's tallest building, Chicago's Sears Tower (1973), as well as the city's John Hancock Center (1970)
