MODERN ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIORS - ADAM STECH ...

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 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 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.
