- The Triangle region of North Carolina is a little-known hotbed of outstanding modern architecture with roots that trace back to the Bauhaus and has helped to shape the history of American modern architecture.
- With the famous Bauhaus School, one of the birthplaces of Modernism, celebrating 100 years since its founding, and the NC State School of Architecture nearing 75 years, this is a benchmark moment to analyze and appreciate the resulting body of exceptional architecture, which are a local and national cultural treasure.
- This is the only book that documents the outstanding architecture of the Triangle Region including Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill within the period of 1948 to the present.
- Presenting sixteen architects from the mi-century and sixteen from those currently practicing, the reader is able to understand what the architects of these periods had in common, and how the design has evolved over 75 years. Elemental design principles are defined as one means to bridge this information gap.
