With the upcoming publication of Ornament Is Crime, weve been musing over our favourite features. From Richard Neutras VDL residences to Luciano Kruks Argentine Golf House, these are the modern masterpieces where wed move to… if we could.
Written by The Modern House founders, Matt Gibberd and Albert Hill, Ornament Is Crime is a visual manifesto that offers a celebration and thought-provoking reappraisal of modernist architecture.
It demonstrates the sheer diversity of Modernism but also its main characteristics, which have remained largely consistent. We have placed houses from different eras alongside each other to show how architects have continued to translate the principles of Modernism in a remarkably similar way, says Matt Gibberd.
The book examines iconic works by Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius alongside some of the best contemporary architects of the twenty-first century, arguing for a continuous progression of the movement from its roots through to the present day.
