5.0 out of 5 stars
Modernism in Motion -- Practical, Detailed, Philosophical,
By Theseus "theseus" (US of A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Modern House in America (1st Edition) (Hardcover)
This isn't a glossy coffee table book. It is a book by architects for architects from the middle of the 20th century -- documenting modern houses built by over 30 working architects.
The houses are documented with photographs, ground plans, elevations and statements by the architect(s) regarding the factors such as the site, the needs of the owners, climate, construction details, and cost. Theory is not tossed out of the window. In an introductory section questions such as "What Is Modern?" are posed as the authors quickly cover topics such as "Revolt From Traditional Architecture" and "International Style a Misnomer." A concluding section features statements from the architects. A superb resource.
