In Civic Architecture Across America: Extraordinary Views, renowned architectural photographer Thomas R. Schiff uses his lens to capture 360° views of beautiful, iconic, and lesser-known government and public spaces throughout the United States in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the nation. These panoramic photographs conjure up new perspectives of interior and exterior spaces built over the last three centuries.With over 120 full-color panoramic photographs, this large format book brings together Schiff's work and the expertise of seven practicing architects and architectural historians representing different regions of the country to explore themes, tensions, use, and perceptions surrounding the built environment of city halls, statehouses, congressional chambers, reading rooms, and many other civic spaces, treating the reader to a kaleidoscope of images and words. Civic Architecture Across America expands upon a new traveling exhibit curated by the Cincinnati Museum Center to be unveiled in the summer of 2025. An introduction by Richard Guy Wilson sets the course for this pictorial tour of the nation celebrating 250 years of American independence.
