Paul Rudolph: The Florida Houses

Christopher Domin, Joseph King

Paul Rudolph, one of the 20th century's most iconoclastic architects, is best known—and most maligned – for his large "brutalist" buildings, like the Yale Art and Architecture Building. So it will surprise many to learn that early in his career he developed a series of houses that represent the unrivaled possibilities of a modest American modernism.

Paul Rudolph: The Florida Houses reveals all of Rudolph's early residential work. Along with Rudolph's personal essays and renderings, duotone photographs by Ezra Stoller and Joseph Molitor, and insightful text by Joseph King and Christopher Domin, this compelling book conveys the lightness, timelessness, strength, materiality and transcendency of Rudolph's work.
