Hard-bound issue of Horizon Magazine, Autumn 1976. 112 pages, lavishly illustrated with photographs and period illustrations.
Some shelfwear, white binding is discolored from exposure to the sun on spine and around edges. Interior is clean, comes from an old Main Line library and was very well kept.
Horizon Magazine featured articles on a wide variety of subjects, including history, art, archeology, architecture, and literature.
The hightlight of this issue is a period architectural article, The World Trade Center: Does Mega-Architecture Work? An inquiry into whether a building of 110 stories is fit for human habitation.
"I suppose the worst thing about working in the World Trade Center is the sense that hits you here of having no personal identity," says Miriam Lucas, a secretary for an import-export firm on the sixty-third floor of the North Tower. "In the morning and evening rushes, you're one of a shoving, faceless mob jammed into subways and the concourse and the elevators. And then there's the odd feeling you get when working in your office of knowing that just about every floor in the building is exactly the same. But you don't know any of the people who are working on those floors. What I'm saying is that the World Trade Center, because of its size or whatever, is a curiously cold and impersonal place to work."
