Description
This book is a meticulous exploration of the four major elements of Steven Ehrlich's Multicultural Modernism. The courtyard, as an antidote to density stress, was first encountered by Ehrlich in Morocco, and is examined and illustrated by both residential and commercial projects; further projects examine an openness to change and technical innovation as embodied by Los Angeles. Profound sensitivity to people and place produces designs that reflect clients' dreams and express their personalities; cross-cultural fusion is another element that celebrates the unique qualities of people and place and freedom of expression that typify Ehrlich's work.
In the following pages, Multicultural Modernism is revealed as a vital and practical architectural methodology for creating dynamic design that works for the 21st century.
