New Canaan, Connecticut, was a site of experimentation by modernist house designers, and contains an unparalleled concentration of residential modernism. This heavily illustrated volume describes sixteen representative houses, and shows how they have adapted to contemporary life while maintaining their philosophy of living. -- Michael Biondo, Jeffrey Matz, Lorenzo Ottaviani, and Cristina A. Ross formed the collaborative Moderns on Modern to study midcentury architecture and design in the belief that modern architecture is not static but seeks to reinvent itself as it adapts to new ways of life. Biondo is a fashion and architectural photographer whose work has appeared in numerous books and magazines. Matz is a practicing architect in Greenwich, Connecticut. Ross is an architect and preservationist based in New Canaan. Ottaviani is the creative director of Lorenzo Ottaviani Design and the author of Travel Italia: The Golden Age of Italian Travel Posters. --
