Customer Reviews

SARASOTA MODERN is best book on subject so far

Sarasota Modern is the best book published about the Sarasota School of Architecture to this date, because it shows the houses as they are today, and discusses the architect, the client and how each project has evolved over time. Andrew Weaving owns, restores and writes about modern architecture in Florida and understands the work, the architects and their original intent, plus allows us to peek inside to see how owners choose to enjoy these houses today. Architects highlighted are from the past to the present, including Paul Rudolph, Edward "Tim" Seibert/Seibert Architects, Gene Leedy, Carl Abbott, Victor Lundy, Jack West, Ralph Twitchell, Toshiko Mori and many others. Buy this book if you want to learn why this body of work is considered Sarasota's most important art form, and a growing source of tourism for Sarasota Florida.
