During the Mexican period (1821-35), relatively little architectural progress was made beyond the construction of dwellings and some military work, although several new towns were established, including Bastrop (laid out in 1830), Liberty (founded in 1831), and Gonzales (founded in 1832).
Architectural motifs from many historic styles were combined in an eclectic fashion, with the Medieval Romanesque and Gothic vying with the Renaissance for popularity.
The architecture of the first half of the twentieth century reflects the growing unity of architectural expression throughout the United States.

 Sarasota School of Architecture. Florida History & the Arts Magazine - Summer 2001 @ Florida OCHP
In 1952, architectural historian Henry Russell Hitchcock wrote in Architectural Review "the most exciting new architecture in the world is being done in Sarasota by a group of young architects." Between 1941 and 1966, Sarasota became a mecca for modern architecture, unrivaled in Florida and equaled only by a few West Coast cities in California.
Traditional decorative elements or references to past architectural styles were swept away, producing a minimalist architecture of flat-roofed buildings with smooth, unornamented walls and delicate, carefully proportioned facades.
The result was a regional modernism which blurred the distinction between the indoors and outdoors and accommodated the lifestyle and climate of southern Florida.

 Louis Sullivan after functionalism by Michael J. Lewis
He showed that Sullivan’s architecture and ornament were reciprocal aspects of the same creative impulse—the ornament no less integral to the idea of the building than the foundations that sustained it.
Their ornament, however, was the freest and most original he had ever made, breaking free of the architectural lattice of panels and spandrels which had previously confined it.
Chicago’s 1893 Columbian Exhibition reoriented American architecture toward academic classicism, a shift that Sullivan loathed and which he made the subject of a furious tirade at the climax of his autobiography, memorably associating fashionable classicism with the symptoms of advanced cerebral meningitis.

The present architectural intellect puts its vigor and energy into an egoistic display in the search to be seen as original, escaping from symbolism either out of a lack of appreciation of its significance or a miscomprehension of its meaning.

Not only does the author bring to light surprising discoveries that have escaped the notice of previous historians of architectural modernism, but she succeeds in describing the specific situation of Serbian architecture in a way that connects it to European developments of the past as well as to theoretical debates of the present.
Ljiljana Blagojevic proves that the strength of this seminal movement of the twentieth century lay not in its universality, but in an adaptiveness its doctrinaire founders never imagined.
In restoring this work to its rightful place in the history of modern architecture, the book also sheds new light on a number of other stories.
