The Realty description is says that this is a mid-century modern home. It’s not b/c it was built in 1982, which is characterized by postmodernism style architecture that includes asymmetrical shapes. It’s in Sedona, Arizona, has 3bd  4ba & is listed for $1.3M.

Two large double front doors flanked by beautiful stained glass windows that reflect the outdoor scenery.

There’s a door to the living room from the garden. 

I like the contrast of the black beams against the lighter wood. This home looks more contemporary than MCM. 

It has a modern rustic red brick fireplace and some partial dividing walls.

In a small nook off the living room put a small desk. 

A door to the patio from the kitchen. The kitchen is so large that a dining room table can fit in here. 

You can see in the large kitchen how the element of asymmetrical shapes comes into play in the architectural style. 

The main bd ahs a door to the yard. This house has a lot of glass doors. 

The main en-suite.

This is an interesting fireplace- it’s double-sided so you can see it in the bath.

This looks like a guest room that sleeps 4 to 8.

Very big garage that is currently being used as a game room. 

Patio outside the kitchen.

There isn’t a pool, but there’s a hot tub.

The home is on a corner lot in a scenic community.

This week on things Lettie is becoming insane about: Modernist architecture and industrial design

#unpopular tumblr opinion but I really do like modernism and a bit of minimalism here and there #I do love postmodernist architecture too and that’s probably next on the schedule #denys lasdun is my favourite architect btw #I guess because I’ve seen so many of his works in person in comparison to other architects #the design behind keeling house is quite pleasant and refreshing and finding out they went from council houses to luxury apartments sucks

It's Fine Press Friday!

This 1932 Limited Editions Club (LEC) publication of the ancient Roman novel The Golden Ass, (also known as the Metamorphoses of Apuleius), was one of the many artist-illustrated classics produced under the direction of American publisher and LEC founder George Macy (1900–1956). It tells the extraordinary and oft unsavory tale of Lucius, a young man experimenting with ancient religious magic who accidentally transforms himself into a donkey instead of a bird- a condition he is able to reverse only after a wild journey of misadventure which concludes with his induction into the cult of Isis.  

The novel, originally composed in Latin in the 2nd century by philosopher and scholar Lucius Apuleius (c. 124 CE-c. 170 CE), was translated into English for this edition by writer and social activist Jack Lindsay (1900-1990) and features reproductions of pen and ink illustrations from Percival Goodman (1904-1989), a progressive urban theorist and architect more widely known for his postmodernist architectural renderings and contributions to modern synagogue design.

The book was printed in a limited edition of 1500 copies by John S. Fass (1890-1973) at the Harbor Press in New York, a fine-press printing house founded by Fass and Roland & Elizabeth Wood in 1925, and features type designer Thomas Maitland Cleland’s (1880-1964) elegant Della Robbia typeface in black and red ink on Worthy special paper, illustrated endpapers, and gilding on the top edge of the text block. Goodman’s signature is inscribed in red ink beneath the colophon. The publisher’s announcement included with our copy describes the edition as bound in “full natural ass’s hide”, a characterization critically described by Claire Badaracco in her 1995 book Trading Words: Poetry, Typography, and Illustrated Books in the Modern Literary Economy as “stretching the boundaries of good taste”, but we think that the smooth, gold-stamped cover is quite lovely and understated in person!

FINAL ROUND

1. “See, hear and smell everything. Let no detail go unnoticed.

Cool for: Fine Detail Detectives, Sensualists, Urban Scavengers

Perception wants you to be open to the world – with eyes, ears, and nose working at full capacity. It enables you to take in what others don’t notice. The little wad of bills hid away in the sugar bowl; the odor of a perp, hiding beneath the floor boards; the gulp of a suspect, after claiming they’ve nothing to hide.”

2. “Understand creativity. See Art in the world.

Cool for: Creatives, Psychedelic Fanciers, Critics.

Conceptualization has a special role it wants you to play in this world – not the role of cop, but of Art Cop. It enables you to make fresh associations, to delve into world-concepts from Jan Kaarp’s postmodernist karperie, to Revachol’s arabesque architectural style dideridada, and even the concept of HARDCORE – and then, importantly, to add your own contribution to these works.”

3. “Hunches and gut feelings. Dreams in waking life.

Cool for: Dreamers, Para-Natural Investigators, Mental Creators

Inland Empire is the unfiltered wellspring of imagination, emotion, and foreboding. It enables you to grope your way through invisible dimensions of reality, gaining insight into that which sight can’t see. What’s really going on? What do these enigmatic riddles mean for the world-fate?”

4. “Raise the hair on your neck. Tune in to the city.

Cool for: City Lovers, The Wisest of the Street Wise, The Genuinely Supra-Natural

Shivers come when the temperature drops and you become more keenly aware of your surroundings. It enables you to hear the city itself, to truly belong to the streets. It is a supra-natural ability; old wrongs play out in present time, scenes across the city happen in front of you. But who is speaking to you?”

Anatomy of a House No.5 ​ Grand Union Walk, Camden Town 1990 Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners

Our first four editions of Anatomy of a House have covered International Modernism (High and Over, Willow Road), early Brutalism (Sugden House) and Romantic Pragmatism (62 Camden Mews). This time we shoot forward to the late 80s/early 90s and the era of High Tech and Postmodernism. Nicholas Grimshaw studied at the Architectural Association, mixing with Peter Cook, Cedric Price and John Winter. After leaving he went into practice with Terry Farrell, designing houses, apartments and factories. One of their most notable designs was 125 Park Road, an apartment block overlooking Regents Park with flexibly planned interiors and an aluminium-clad facade, now Grade II listed. The partners went their separate ways in 1980, Farrell producing more postmodernist designs, with Grimshaw sticking to the High Tech path

Solpol, interior on the first day of the demolition, 2022, from the Anew series.

After total eight years of study, I defended my MA in photography at ITF Opava, with Anew as a practical work and this photo as the last one. On this occasion, I refreshed and strongly supplemented the Anew presentation on my website with materials from the last year. More to follow.

Solpol was a postmodernist architecture landmark, located in downtown Wrocław. Designed by Wojciech Jarząbek as a department store in mere five days, it is currently in the final stages of being demolished despite numerous protests and calls to save it.

Abstract Architecture in Pastel

Turning what architect Rem Koolhaas famously referred to as “junkspace”—the spatial flotsam of the Anthropocene—into candy-coloured dreamscapes, George Byrne depicts the gritty urbanism of Los Angeles in sublime otherworldliness. Arriving a decade ago, the Australian artist was immediately enthralled by the sprawling cityscape, mesmerized by the way the sunlight transformed it into two-dimensional, almost painterly abstractions, underpinned by a distinctive pastel color palette. Extending his practice beyond the confines of the lens by extracting elements from various images, his series Post Truth dwells in the liminal space between the real and the imagined. Reassembling the urban landscape into striking collages, Byrne creates postmodernist oases in the metropolis that masterfully harness the malleability of the photographic medium. His compositions evoke associations with the Memphis Group’s designs, as well as the work of David Hockney or Ed Ruscha, while tapping into the specific aesthetics of today’s visual culture as played out on Instagram. Filled with a sense of suspended reality, they never fail to convey a feeling of joy.
