Making L.A. Modern: Craig Ellwood - Myth, Man, Designer

Making L.A. Modern: Craig Ellwood - Myth, Man, Designer

This is the definitive volume on Craig Ellwood, a visionary architect, designer, and tastemaker often called the â€œCalifornia Mies van der Rohe.â€

Craig Ellwood, â€œthe Cary Grant of architecture,â€ was one of the most visible faces of California mid-century modernism. He was known as much for his exquisitely designed, minimalist structures as he was for his exuberant lifestyle.

This book celebrates and explores the glamour of Ellwoodâ€™s work, life, myth, and career. Through photographs, primarily of the iconic houses he designed in Southern California during the 1950s and â€™60s, we see a life of refined decadence, expressed through gorgeous architecture, fast cars, beautiful women, Hollywood style, palm trees, swimming pools, and minimalist designâ€”all in the context of the Southern California postwar building boom.

This volume will appeal to design junkies, architecture buffs, students of modernism, and anyone interested in problem-solving and elegant solutions.
