520			_a"Civic Architecture Across America: Extraordinary Views highlights the work of renowned architectural photographer, Thomas R. Schiff and features over 120 of his civic panoramic photographs of the interior and exterior spaces of these civic buildings throughout the country. Spanning three centuries of design, readers will see a myriad of styles used in different regions and time periods in this large format book. Schiff's signature panoramic style offers a breathtaking full 360ʻ sweep of civic architecture, allowing the viewer to see what is directly in front in addition to the views to the left, right, and the rear. Each chapter of Civic Architecture Across America features one of short eight essays written by an architectural historian, practicing architect, museum curator, or photographer who shares their thoughts on an aspect of civic architectural expression and engagement surrounding civic space today. The book unfolds regionally, beginning with a tour of our nation's capital and its most iconic locations such as Lincoln's Memorial and the Library of Congress Reading Room photographed as you have never seen before. Readers then travel to each region of the country where they will meet an expert who shares their perspective on Schiff's imagery and the architectural uniqueness, changes, and considerations which go into building these central town, city, and state buildings. This essay sets the tone for the main attraction, the images which Schiff so elegantly captures and transforms into a work of art. View the beauty places such as the Maryland Statehouse, Buffalo City Hall, Federal Plaza in Chicago, Cincinnati City Hall, Faneuil Hall in Boston, New Hampshire Supreme Court, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, the West Virginia Independence Hall, Sandra Day O'Connor U.S. Courthouse, the Scottsdale City Hall and over one hundred more locations. Some locations you will recognize, others you will not! Schiff's photographs will appeal to lovers of civic and public spaces, photography, and those who embrace our nation's beauty. Published in collaboration with the Cincinnati Museum Center's, this large format book expands upon a new traveling exhibit featuring Schiff's lens-based architectural images of the people's buildings as part of the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026"-- Provided by publisher.
