by Norberto Nardi

A history book, written by Norberto in 1995 and designed to support academic courses for architectural students. The book, with an inspiring prologue written by the world renown architect Cesar Pelli, examines the long needed exploration of the evolution and transformation of the New World's cultures.
The journey described in the book, travels the historical paths of many immigrants builders through the entire American continent, from the first natives arriving by crossing the Bering Land Bridge , the European colonization and culminating with to the contemporary architectural development. Many past and existing " cultural bridges" are identified while many others "missing or broken bridges "are examined in a delightful and historical architectural walk.
