Modernism's Not Dead Yet

Another great pictorial from NYT design section. This article is interesting in so many ways. Not least of which (to me) is that this Philadelphia house is in the neighborhood I where I was born and reminds me of the tiny house where I lived. The house is around 1000 square feet, a number that I think is ideal, and packed with interesting and functional details that recall some of the best characteristics of mid-century modernism, Naturalistic and humanistic. Reminiscent of Noguchi and Louise Kahn with whom the original architect and owner of the house collaborated. Notice open kitchen.
