Part photo essay, part urban archeology, and part rally cry for preservation, Architreasures is a stunning visual journey through some of the most compelling architectural landmarks of the 20th century.

Photographer Geoffrey Goddard takes readers on a global road trip, capturing everything from neon-lit Art Deco theaters and futuristic Googie gas stations to mid-century modern banks and brutalist icons. The book spans cities across the United States—including Miami, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs—as well as architectural gems in England, France, Belgium, Australia, and New Zealand.

With nearly 200 captivating images of 135 structures built between 1911 and 1984, this book not only celebrates the artistry of architectural design but also explores how these buildings reflected cultural aspirations and societal ideals of their time. Arranged chronologically, the pages trace the evolution of design movements—from Jazz Age opulence to the raw geometry of Brutalism.
