Irving Gill and the Architecture of Reform : A Study in Modernist Architectural Culture
Editorial Reviews The New York Times Book Review, Joseph Giovannini Hines helps redress an oversight nearly a century old. His book documents that Gill was indeed a major figure of modernism who had the strategic disadvantage of practicing west of East. Book Description During the first third of the 20th century, the work of American architect Irving Gill radically redefined the architectural landscape of Southern California--especially San Diego, where his practice was based--and set the stage for a later, more widely celebrated generation of modernists who would continue his experiments with new forms and construction techniques. This first definitive study of the architect traces his journey from native Syracuse to a Chicago apprenticeship with Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright to the development of his career as an early modernist and his singular role in the genesis of the modern movement.
