Join me virtually on May 11 when I talk about my new book, Building Brands and how modern skyscrapers the PSFS building and Lever House connected emotionally with audiences through branding @SkyMuseum #slabs#CSR#modernarchitecture#clients#branding https://t.co/zir1SdMY4I
@archidose Excellent! What a classic. While Jordy and many think of PSFS as Int’l Style bc of its inclusion in MoMA, I argue (in the book) that we should also embrace its Expressionism, re: Mendelssohn, Oud,...as a more varied and inclusive modernism which was a reality at the time.
Today on A Daily Dose of Architecture Books is "Building Brands: Corporations and Modern Architecture" by Grace Ong Yan, published by @LHArtBooks: https://t.co/dTID4jbdHi
