Description: You are considering an oversized or trade paperback book, GOODBYE HISTORY, HELLO HAMBURGER: AN ANTHOLOGY OF ARCHITECTURAL DELIGHTS AND DISASTERS by Ada Louise Huxtable; PUBLISHER: The Preservation Press, Washington, D.C.; 1986 printing; 206 pages. Goodbye History, Hello Hamburger presents a uique and compelling record of classic urban confrontations and timeless design issues still being debated. "What I really want to say in assembling these pieces is that, like Kilroy, Huxtable was here." She was there for the disasters--the loss of Penn Station in New York and Wright's Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. She was there for the successes--the saving of New York's Grand Central Terminal, the restoration of Victorian galleries in Philadelphia and Washington, the renewal of Salem, Mass. And she was there to evaluate the knotty issue of how old and new architectural delights--Beaux Arts buildings as well as Art Deco, Jefferson's University of Virginia, Mies van der Rohe's Chicago, skyscrapers, world's fairs and public sculpture. Throughout, Huxtable urges us all to help create more livable cities and to save our history from the path of the fast-food invasion. CONDITION: Sticker residue and black marker line on back cover.
