Architecture critic Paul Goldberger tells the story of an extraordinary house on the Atlantic Double Dune in East Hampton - Blue Dream, the result of a remarkable collaboration between collectors Julie Reyes Taubman and Robert Taubman, architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, builder Ed Bulgin, landscape architect Michael Boucher, and designer Michael Lewis, who sought to renew the legacy of modernist architecture and art in the Hamptons. Goldberger offers insight into the complex process by which an architectural idea generated a work that stands as the most striking addition of our time to the roster of architecturally ambitious modernist houses on Long Island. As Goldberger notes, "There are relatively few books devoted to the architecture of a single house, but what is clear if you read any of them is that they are stories about clients as much as about architects." So it is with Blue Dream, where the Taubmans were inspired by the avant-garde spirit of artists and architects who settled and worked in the Hamptons and set out to create a house like no other, a house whose complex curving forms could only be built using the composite material used to make fighter jets. Iwan Baan's photographic portfolio documents Blue Dream across four seasons. Goldberger's text is illustrated with images of earlier modernist houses that inspired the project, as well as documentation of the design process for Blue Dream itself"-- Architecture Domestic 54087 New York (State) East Hampton (Town) Architecture, Modern 20th century 196974 History Architecture, Modern 21st century 196960 Diller Scofidio + Renfro Buildings, structures, etc 301186 Modern movement Architecture 137430 East Hampton (N.Y. : Town) 301187 Buildings, structures, etc Baan, Iwan, other. lcc 27 NA712.75.M63 General G65 2023 302326 302326 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2024-05-06 Amazon 44.85 0 General NA712.75.M63 G65 2023 91000000072751 2024-05-07 11:18:39 1 54.85 2024-05-06 27
