The second lecture discusses the development of the skyscraper in a global context between the First and Second World Wars. Beginning with a review of projects in the United States, the lecture shifts to a discussion of the the first tall buildings built in Latin America, Europe, and East Asia. As in the United States, these buildings were both celebrated as icons of modernity and criticized for their disrupting effect in the urban fabric. Additionally, their reception was filtered through broader debates about the growing dominance of American culture. The lecture concludes with a discussion of the transnational conversation between North American, Latin American, and European architects about the future of tall building design.
