In 2006, architectural designer and curator Adam Stech 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, Stech took thousands of
diverse photographs of exteriors and interiors. This survey
features often overlooked details that Stech 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. Stech's brief personal commentary reveals
insights into his photography such as capturing Le Corbusier's bold
use of primary colours, the California vibe of an Albert Frey
house, or the over-the-top elegance of Togo Murano's Grand Prince
Hotel. Expansive and inspiring, this is destined to become the
definitive guide to 20th-century Modernism.
