Ira
Rakatansky As Modern As Tomorrow Edited by John Caserta and Lynnette Widder As Modern as
Tomorrow was the 1948 headline of a
Providence Journal article on Ira Rakatansky’s first built house: “a
daring house of modern design...that makes no concessions to
old-fashion ideas,” with “such startling features as a water-cooled
roof, heated stone floors and great areas of glass that allow indoors
and outdoors to merge.”
8.75” x 6.75” paper, 207 pp., pub. date June 2010; 978-0-9819667-0-0 $40 |
