La valorisation de la fonction et de la structure, qui a rendu cet architecte mondialement célèbre, a éclipsé son pendant : la part de l'imaginaire dans l'érection inouïe de ces édifices enracinés dans la culture américaine. Voici, sous la forme d'un recueil rassemblant les essais, articles, conférences, interviews et écrits brefs, au nombre de cinquante, que Louis Henri Sullivan a publiés de 1885 à 1924, le récit de la modernité telle qu'elle a été rêvée en même temps qu’elle s’édifiait.
