The World Around Us
What a wonderful world we live in, thanks to the modernists who design our public spaces, our homes, and our interior goodies.
By Mia Jacobi
…Past, Present, and Future
It has been said that architect David Hovey picks up where Frank Lloyd Wright left off, returning to classic modernism but infusing an optimistic sense of tomorrow and industrial futurism in his projects. Seven of them are beautifully showcased in The Nature of Dwellings: The Architecture of David Hovey (Rizzoli International; $65). Four of the homes were built in the Arizona desert and three near Chicago; but all exhibit Hovey’s sense of context, integrating surrounding landscapes by building homes that utilize courtyards, have an extensive use of glass, and manipulate views as if the home was the precursor to the vast open spaces that surround it. The 200-plus page book includes over 250 beautifully reproduced photographs by top architectural photographers.
