Descrição do livro
Still Modern - Exteriors Why do certain houses from the mid-twentieth century still feel contemporary today? Still Modern - Exteriors explores the enduring language of mid-century modern domestic architecture through a curated series of architectural studies. Inspired by the work of figures such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, Joseph Eichler, Albert Frey, A. Quincy Jones, Paul Rudolph and more, the book examines how modern houses relate to landscape, light, and everyday life. Organised into thematic chapters—including Glass and Silence, Living with Light, The Horizontal Line, Desert Modern, Domestic Utopia, and Concrete Confidence - each section considers a different architectural idea that defined the period. The images present houses as quiet compositions of line, material, and proportion, allowing the principles behind modern domestic architecture to reveal themselves without distraction. Rather than treating these buildings as nostalgic artefacts, Still Modern - Exteriors approaches them as ongoing propositions: examples of how clarity, restraint, and thoughtful design can shape the places we live. This volume forms the first part of the Still Modern series, with future titles exploring the interiors and lived spaces of modernist homes. All architectural images in this book are AI-generated interpretations inspired by modernist design.
