520    "Too close to the wiles and calculations of consumption, 
       stores and shopping centers are generally relegated to 
       secondary, pedestrian status in the history of 
       architecture. And yet, throughout the middle decades of 
       the twentieth century, stores and shopping centers were an
       important locus of modernist architectural thought and 
       practice. Under the mantle of modernism, the merchandising
       problems and possibilities of main streets, cities, and 
       suburbs became legitimate--if also conflicted--
       responsibilities of the architectural profession. In 
       Pedestrian Modern, David Smiley reveals how the design for
       places of consumption informed emerging modernist tenets. 
       The architect was viewed as a coordinator and a site 
       planner--modernist tropes particularly well suited to 
       merchandising. Smiley follows this development from the 
       twenties and thirties, when glass and transparency were 
       equated with modernist rationality; to the forties, when 
       cities and congestion presented considerable hurdles for 
       shopping district design and, at the same time, when 
       modern concerns about the pedestrian deeply affected city 
       and neighborhood planning; to the early fifties, when both
       urban shopping districts and suburban shopping centers 
       became large-scale modernist undertakings. Although 
       interpreting the tools and principles of modernism, 
       designs for shopping never quite shed the specter of 
       consumption. Tracing the history of architecture's 
       relationship with retail environments during a time of 
       significant transformation in urban centers and in open 
       suburban landscapes, Smiley expands and qualifies the 
       making of American modernism."--|cProvided by publisher.
