# Contemporary Work explained — Sticks and Stones

> Chapter companion for Sticks and Stones by Lewis Mumford.

## What happens

This chapter directs readers to portfolios of contemporary architects, recommending periodicals such as Architectural Record, American Architect, House and Garden, and Arts and Decorations for illustrations, without singling out any specific architect.

## Key lines

> Portfolios of work by contemporary architects are so numerous that to single out any would be invidious.

There are so many collections of modern architects' work that it would be unfair to highlight just one.

_The author avoids favoring any particular architect due to the abundance of available portfolios._

> Readers are advised to look through issues of Architectural Record, American Architect, House and Garden, and Arts and Decorations for relevant images.
