N2  - The author analyzes the ongoing debate between exclusivists such as Richard Meier, Charles Gwathmey, and Peter Eisenman and inclusivists whom he sees as representatives of the first generation of post-moderist architects in America.
"This essay is not intended as a historical overview of the evolution of modern architecture in America, nor as a comprehensive analysis of the work of all the significant architects now practicing here. Rather, it is a partial presentation of designs by some of the most influential and innovative architects at this moment, whose work is viewed in relation to the development of their individual styles and to our most pressing urban problems." January 1969
