Modern Architecture and Interiors

This atlas of more than one thousand Modernist architectural masterpieces uncovers hidden gems while offering new perspectives on old favorites.In 2006, architectural designer and curator Adam Å tÄ›ch embarked on a photographic project to document the best Modernist architecture around the globe. Twenty-five countries and more than a decade later, the fruits of that monumental project are gathered in this impressive collection covering nearly a century of architectural history. Driven by a passion for rediscovering forgotten or lesser known architectural treasures of Modernism, Å tÄ›ch took thousands of diverse photographs of exteriors and interiors. This survey features often overlooked details that Å tÄ›ch helps bring to light. Examples of seating, storage, tables, handrails, lighting, doors, windows, fireplaces, and other decorative or functional elements illustrate how architects imbued every aspect of a building with Modernist ideals. Å tÄ›ch’s brief personal commentary reveals insights into his photography such as capturing Le Corbusier’s bold use of primary colors, the California vibe of an Albert Frey house, or the over-thetop elegance of Togo Murano’s Grand Prince Hotel. Expansive and inspiring, this is destined to become the definitive guide to 20th-century Modernism
