About the author

Lewis Mumford (October 19, 1895 – January 26, 1990) was an American historian and philosopher of technology and science. Particularly noted for his study of cities and urban architecture, he had a tremendously broad career as a writer that also included a period as an influential literary critic. Mumford was influenced by the work of Scottish theorist Sir Patrick Geddes.

Reviews

[Brian]

This lecture, given at University of Montevallo, is an exploration of where the south as a region may go in respects to finding & developing a regional architecture that is appropriate to the south as a place. It is as important today as it was in 1941 when the lecture was delivered.
