Lauded architect and critic Alexander Gorlin explores Modernism in America, with a survey of the movement’s most iconic houses and structures, revealing in their proper historical context as examples of the best of early- and mid-twentieth-century American modernist architecture.
The Modern movement found some of its earliest, most idealistic, and, later, most refined realizations in New England houses designed by such masters as Frank Lloyd Wright, Philip Johnson, Mies van der Rohe, Richard Meier, Paul Rudolph, Marcel Breuer, and Walter Gropius, all of whose work is featured in the book, and highlighted in the presentation.
His new book, Tomorrow’s Houses: New England Modernism, will set the stage for the talk and lend itself to Gorlin's vast experience in the world of American modernism.
Photographer Geoffrey Gross has captured in stunning full-color images these precisely composed structures and their exquisitelyappointed interiors, all against the breathtaking variety of the landscapes of New England.
The event takes place September 27 at 9:30 a.m. at Astra Café on the 14th floor of the DDB. A reception will follow at Dakota Jackson (Suite 501). For reservations, please call 212-759-2969, or email RSVP@ddbuilding.com.
