Cape Cod Modern: Midcentury Architecture and Community on the Outer Cape

Cape Cod Modern has a great architectural story to tell and the existence of the little known and important modern architecture on the Outer Cape has been a revelation. It is a fascinating and well written book, with beautiful photographs that tell the story of some of the greats of modernism experimenting with summer homes for themselves and their friends from the 1940s onwards. The descriptions of the lives of the free-spirted artistic community who lived there, adds to the enjoyment and creates a context for the appreciation of these simple, sustainable houses. It's a book for everyone who is moved by a beautiful place and those interested in cultural and architectural history.
