| Summary |
Published in conjunction with a major exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, An Everyday Modernism: The Houses of William Wurster is the first large-scale examination of Wurster's fifty-year career and his important place in contemporary American architectural thought. Featured here are photographs, drawings, and plans of over fifty of Wurster's projects, as well as many others by his contemporaries. Essays by distinguished architectural historians and critics provide insight into both his professional and personal life while also exploring the complex interplay of social and political forces that affected housing during the first half of this century |
