Résumé:

The OfficeUS Agenda, the catalogue for the U.S. Pavilion, serves simultaneously as a guide and counterpoint to the exhibition. Organized into stories of expertise, exchange, and export, the Agenda frames the narratives that have projected the organisational structures and branded identity of U.S. architecture firms internationally from 1914 - 2014.
