FEATURED IMAGE

Fire Island Modernist: Horace Gifford and the Architecture of Seduction

Featured image is the exterior of Sloan House in Fire Island Pines, designed by architect Horace Gifford in 1972. Reproduced from this summer's must-have architecture monograph, Fire Island Modernist: Horace Gifford and the Architecture of Seduction, published by Metropolis Books & Gordon de Vries Studio, "the Sloan residence was the consummate example of Gifford’s mature period," according to author Christopher Rawlins. "Norton and Marlo Sloan—one of many heterosexual couples who embraced the freewheeling culture of the Pines—commissioned a luxurious home whose smooth volumes appeared to have washed up on their site. Although any physical resemblance to Louis Kahn’s work had receded, it still bore his "order of the castle," in which complex ancillary rooms surround a rectangular central space and endow the facade with a rippled presence."

Graphic Design Bookshelf

Graphic Design BookshelfInformation design pioneer Edward Tufte sums up the ever-increasing relevance of graphic design to our times with his observation that “clutter is a failure of design, not an attribute of information.” In the golden age of paraphernalia, it falls to the graphic designer to clarify the clutter, and the ability to compose visual and linguistic data so that it grabs both eye and mind determines the success of just about every merchandized product, from a flyer in the mailbox to the web. Historically, graphic design has also defined the look of entire avant-garde art movements and even whole eras, through album art and movie posters. Below is a selection of our finest monographs and surveys on graphic design, from modernist Italian travel posters to web design. continue
