Long Island Modernism: 1930-1980
Chronicles a rich and little-known array of architecture on the island, a hotbed of modernism from the thirties on. Caroline Rob Zaleski’s research on the work of key figures in twentieth-century architecture; the relatively unknown aspects of their production; and their associations with clients, artists, and politicians is complemented by more than three hundred striking archival photographs, specially commissioned new photography, and plans. Zaleski documents the development of exurbia and the rise of visionary structures: residences for commuters and weekenders, public housing, houses of worship, universities, shopping centers, and office complexes. In this part architectural, part social history, she explains why modernism was embraced by Long Island’s civic, cultural, and business leaders―as well as by those who wanted to settle away from the city―during an epoch when open space was prime for development. An inventory of important architects, with their Long Island commissions by date and location, complements the main text.
