Beutiful Book!
This is one of the few books that could be judged by its cover. It's 100% Tropical Modern. Good pictures, fair enough text. My only cons is not with the book but with the fact that despite that I love Modern Architecture it might not be the best approach for all tropical areas because of the accelerated deterioration and high-maintenance caused by the weather at this latitudes.

Apparently, the entire world has fallen in love again with Mid-Century Modernism. With good reason!

This handsome book from Rizolli embraces an offshoot of modernist architecture and decor -- the tropical. Don Draper never had it this good.

20 different homes are profiled with a text that considers materials, site, texture, and local building traditions. Obviously though, as with any Rizzoli book, the primary focus is on the photographs.

Architects include Isay Weinfeld, Keenan/Riley, Studio MORSA, John Hix, Walter James Alcock.

Hardcover in dustjacket: cloth over board with a sewn binding, 224 pp, color illustrations throughout with a couple floorplans.

Great book, I read it many times a year. It gives great inspiration. The book has great pictures and shows a good variety of different homes in different countries. I also have the other one, pacific modern, also great , but this one is better.
If you like this kind of style, although you get to see many unreachable houses, you must surly get it!

The seller responded to my question immediately by e-mail. The book was also in a great condition as the seller described. This book is very useful if you are looking for some modern/mid century sytle. I bought this as a christmas gift for my husband. We are very happy.
