Multiple generations of the same family living under one roof is not a new idea. But what is new is the way architects around the world are re-embracing this form of living, back by increasingly popular demand. While the 20th century experience emphasized a single-family home for the nuclear family and bachelor pads, we are now seeing more tiers of the family unit choosing to live together. Come Together explores the why, the what, the where and, perhaps most importantly, the how of the homes that succeed to be livable for all generational tiers - with designs that are not only architecturally stunning, but balancing private and communal spaces to come together.

For decades, the eastern nation was seen as ""the world´s factory,"" a manufacturing giant for whom success meant importing talent from the west or simply copying it altogether.

The fascinating world of product design that emerged between the 1970s and 1990s symbolized the birth of a new age and human behavior.

The automobile is, undeniably, the backbone of the last 100
years of American society. The likes of Ford, Plymouth, and Chevrolet, defined a
new era for the United States, from transcontinental travel to suburban family
transportation. From the mass production of the Model T all the way through to
the electric age of the Tesla, the automobile has been a staple in American
culture for generations. But these cars were not just practical
machines. For many they projected an image of cool, represented a way of life,
or was a means to make a living. The great American road trip was born behind a
wheel, the Dodge Challenger ripped up the screen in Vanishing Point, and the
city of Detroit rose and fell dramatically off the back of the American
automobile industry. The Americans - Beautiful Machines celebrates
the likes of the Mustang, Gran Torino, Corvette, and many of the other classic
models that put American automobiles firmly into the 20th Century American
zeitgeist. It tells the story of the most iconic cars, their makers, and their
era.The book also touches upon the art deco elegance of the Cord, post war
optimism, the surf and muscle era, and much more, celebrating the most
emblematic, visionary, and iconic automobiles in the history of United States
manufacturing.
