Probably the definitive study of the works of Morris Lapidus, who has recently gained the serious consideration of fellow archictects. For years, his works were dismissed as 'gaudy', 'overdone', 'bourgeois'. But one look at this book will reveal him to be a modernist visionary. His retail establishments are wonderfully light and airy, and one of his few residential homes, in Miami, is a stunning, understated and elegant, modernist design. The hotels, his crowning achievements, are covered thoroughly with many high-quality photos on archivist paper.
