Postwar Pittsburgh Architecture Bibliography

A selected bibliography of original sources, published writings, and web sites documenting Pittsburgh's Postwar architecture (plus a few earlier modern buildings). Archival collections and holdings as well as architects' Web sites are noted when known to be or when plausibly relevant. Some electronic full-text documents are included. Most newspaper articles are excluded. A section of general citations is followed by a section of citations arranged alphabetically by architect, and then arranged more randomly by building. This bibliography was compiled to support increasing public interest in this topic, to augment the course research guide on this topic at 48-350: Post-War Modern Architecture & Theory 1945-1975, and to support the work of that course in the Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture. This is a work in progress: additions and corrections are welcomed.
