Note 545 — CHAPTER 25 ARCHITECTURE AT THE MID CENTURY

The death of Eero Saarinen in 1961 brought to a premature end the career of a typical, indeed a very leading, post-war architect whose mature production dated very largely from the years since the mid fifties when this book was originally written. (See Epilogue.)

Monographs on such different architects as Philip Johnson and the firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill should appear almost coincidentally with this second edition and others are already in preparation.
