Zusammenfassung:'Hut Pavilion Shrine is a much-needed examination of the typologies that shaped postwar American modernism. Dismissed for years as meaningless formalisms, the book is a positive step towards understanding the aesthetic and intellectual content of American architecture after World War II. Further dispelling notions of mere eclecticism, it locates the origins of these typologies deep in architecture's past. Samson successfully shows how architects previously treated monographically - among them Johnson, Rudolph, Saarinen and Kahn - had much in common intellectually.' Timothy M. Rohan, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA and author of The Architecture of Paul Rudolph
