ARGUMENT/ FRAMEWORK
Texaco Road Map (found object)
The issue of corporations and the importance of capital in the American context is a story that is as long as the very existence of the nation. After all, economic reasons drove the expeditions from Europe, and resulted in the subsequent settlement and founding of the colonies. Yes, the American story is one complex and varied, but nevertheless deducible to the common themes of money, land, and power. American architecture as of recently also follows these three themes, with some overlap, but rarely embodying all three.
