My new history of modern design, co-written with Ann Ferebee, is out! We've been having a wonderful time sharing the story behind the icons of twentieth-century modernism, and tracing this lineage of high-spirited design innovation ahead to today's knock-out-brilliant architects, landscape architects, interior designers, product designers, and photographers. Thanks to The New York Times and Metropolis for great coverage of the book, and to 92YTribeca and The Skyscraper Museum for hosting two terrific programs. Come to the New York Public Library on August 24 for a third event featuring modern design history, looking at the global vanguard in Russia, Germany, and beyond that sparked the modern spirit. (Oh, and buy the book—a perfect back-to-school resource for the budding designer in your life!)
