USA 1966 - Luisa Castiglioni, Hans Deichmann, Enzo Muzii, Umberto Riva

In the spring of 1966, four illustrious travellers crossed the United States from west to east, documenting America's architecture at its heyday. Starting out from San Francisco, the architects Umberto Riva and Luisa Castiglioni, the flaneur Enzo Muzii, and the art patron Hans Deichmann visited California before heading south to Phoenix, Dallas, and New Orleans, then on Atlanta, Chicago, and Philadelphia. After a month on the road, they reached New York. The group captured cities, deserts, and encounters in numerous black-and-white images. 'USA 1966' retraces that epic journey and explores the context in which it took place through critical contributions by several authors.
