A Look at Architecture documents modern buildings in Columbus, Indiana. Designed predominantly by nationally and internationally recognized architects, landscape architects, and interior designers from 1942-2016, each project has been photographed in its current condition.

The Ninth Edition includes seven national landmark buildings with enhanced four-page spreads for each.

Each project is typically associated with a lead design architect and the name and location of the architectural firm with which the designer worked, as well as key associates or collaborating designers. In the past decade it has become more common for national architects to associate with local architects, who are also listed.
