    'Impossible Heights' examines a distinct American cultural consciousness that came into focus during the interwar years, with the excitement about aeroplanes and skyscrapers, as well as their anticipated roles in the creation of an ideal 'world of tomorrow'. The book explores how this 'aesthetics of ascension' contributed to a broader transformation of the architect as a master builder, whose idealistic perspective from above ushered in a modernist impulse to ameliorate the spatial and social problems of an allegedly chaotic world.
