Designing Tomorrow America's World's Fairs of the 1930s Edited by Robert W. Rydell and Laura Burd Schiavo With contributions by Robert Bennett, Matthew Bokovoy, Robert A. Gonzalez, Neil Harris, Lisa D. Schrenk, Kristina Wilson, and Richard Guy Wilson Copyright 2010 by Yale University and the National Building Museum "In the midst of the Great Depression, America's world's fairs of the 1930s gave hope to millions, sustaining the assembled multitudes with visions of progress and informing the aesthetics and tone of the nation's eventual recovery. These grand expositions in Chicago, San Diego, Dallas, Cleveland, New York, and San Francisco showcased an optimistic future society and symbolized the modernist message of progress through design. Offering an overview of the fairs and detailed discussions of individual works, distinguished authors examine how designs reconciled radical "European" modern style with American tradition. Works by architects and designers including Edward H. Bennett, Gilbert Rohde, George Keck, and Richard Neutra illuminate the ways in which modernism became an integral component of the vocabulary of American design, linked with the essentially American ideal of progress. 102 black-and-white and 30 color illustrations. Published by Yale University Press, New Haven and London, in association with the National Building Museum, Washington, D.C."
