It’s a match made in heaven. Architecture and car design are passions many hold dear, and coauthors Thijs Demeulemeester and Bert Voet are fueling their own verve once again with a follow-up to their aptly named best seller – Carchitecture – and a visual journey across America and through the annals of lasting style.
Both Belgian, Demeulemeester is a lifestyle journalist specializing in interiors and architecture, while Voet’s journalistic focus is on cars. Their latest tome – Carchitecture USA: American Houses with Horsepower – takes readers on an armchair road trip past iconic homes paired with unique cars that mirror them and build on their aesthetic. Through a series of essays and four themed chapters – Iconic Houses, Cars & Stars, Californication and American Cars – the book explores the U.S. in a new and colorful way that honors these bastions of design. From midcentury modern and pastel-painted fins to old Hollywood and timeless form, Carchitecture USA shows us the past is not only still present, it’s driving style still today.
