	Architectural Mecca / Building design flavored by Islam / Most U.S. cities have buildings with echoes of Islamic design
		Moorish buildings have existed in the United States since before the 18th century, primarily in the Southwest, where former Spanish citizens brought with them an architectural sense influenced by years of Muslim rule in Spain.
		Islamic architecture is, of course, rooted in Islamic traditions, but the term itself refers to a style of building and design that, as used in the West, has no religious significance.
		When Stone returned to the United States, he infused all his buildings with aspects of Mughal and Muslim architecture, Kerr says, citing New York's 2 Columbus Circle, which features a series of curved arches, and Washington's Kennedy Center, whose colonnades are odes to Islamic architecture, she says.

		Jefferson's Monticello, often seen as the first masterwork of American architecture, is derived from various published images of European villas, with a plan that sought to reinforce a lord-servant relationship between Jefferson and his many employees.
		It is not so much a history of American architecture as it is a sociology, and not so much a sociology as it is a subtle and invigorating study of the social relations and social dynamics of American buildings and the people who make and use them.
		Its views of the development of architecture as a profession and the status of architecture in the history of art are provocative and incisive.

	Amazon.com: Architecture in the United States, 1800-1850: Books: W. Barksdale Maynard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This groundbreaking book traces the development of American architecture from the age of Jefferson to the antebellum era, providing the first survey of this important period to appear in a generation.
		Barksdale Maynard overturns the long accepted notions that the chief theme of early-nineteenth-century American architecture was a patriotic desire to escape from European influence and that competing styles chiefly reflected the American struggle for cultural uniqueness.
		Emphasizing intellectual and cultural ties to British style and taste, W. Barksdale Maynard examines Architecture in the United States, 1800-1850, and discovers, in a revisionist manner that the progress of public and private building design in that age of American innocence wasn't simply about national fervor and a desire to create distance from Europe.
