Reviews
": ""...Book Explores the Lines Between Captivating Cars and Great Architecture.""
""We enjoyed the first volume and welcome this tour that gives a glimpse of some favorite cars in beautiful stateside settings, some familiar and others largely unknown. Each photograph in the 192-page collection captures a unique relationship, whether a sober monochromatic facade or a mint-green facia mimicked by an automotive chameleon in the carport.""" - Robb Report "It's a match made in heaven. Architecture and car design are passions many hold dear, and coauthors Thijs Demeulemeester and Bert Voet are fueling their own verve once again with a follow-up to their aptly named best seller - Carchitecture - and a visual journey across America and through the annals of lasting style." - Aspire Magazine "Carchitecture USA is a photographic romp through midcentury America's obsession with automobiles as accessories to, and for, architecture." - Car & Driver ""No matter if you're a fan of pole barns and VW buses, mid-century modern homes and the then-rare European imports, or a classic craftsman and big, finned American land yachts, Carcitechture USA: American Homes With Horsepower will entrance you with homes both spectacular and sublime, and the cars that are the perfect companion parked in the garage.""
""The book is divided into chapters and essays on home and vehicle design, with one chapter focusing heavily on California car and home culture. Auto and architecture enthusiasts alike will enjoy the beautiful photography and print quality of the book.""" - Forbes "This book masterfully explores the fascinating interplay between architecture and automotive design. Through striking visual pairings and insightful essays, it reminds us that the past is not only still present but also shapes today's style." - Gasoline Magazine "In the recently published book Carchitecture USA, from Lannoo Publishers, architecture and cars come together in a beautiful union.
