Newly released oversized, museum-quality tome, New View: A Curated Visual Gallery – 20 Magnificent Homes by California Architects, exhibits the talents of award-winning architects, William Hayer, Greg Faulkner, Mary Ann Gabriele Schicketanz, and more. A pictorial tour-de-force, the grand capsulized volume, part of a groundbreaking and historic series, articulates the very essence of the California environment, style, and sensibility – and pays homage to the rich architectural tradition and legacy of the Golden State.
The great Frank Lloyd Wright taught us that form and function are forever bound in spiritual union; that design is eternally emotive; and that architecture structures society. Inspired by this depth of being, 20 modern architectural greats and their most extraordinary feats are celebrated in the pages of New View: A Curated Visual Gallery – Twenty Magnificent Homes by California Architects.
“The projects [chronicled in the pages of New View] are a symphony of forms, an interplay of positive and negative spaces, a dance of color and texture. Each turn of the page reveals a new dimension of creativity, a fresh perspective on what a home can be. The architects featured here have dared to challenge conventions, push boundaries, and defy norms…” renowned architect, William Hayer writes, in his inspired introduction.
In a personal appeal to the reader’s interpretation and imagination, Hayer shares: “Step into homes that are not just abodes but works of art. Experience the blend of client dreams, environmental consciousness, and community integration. These architects have not only designed houses; they have constructed dreams.”
The latest publication unveiled by culture and publishing house benton buckley books follows the curatorial acclaim of best-selling design book modish: the book of great design, also edited by principal publisher Beth Buckley.
Mesmerizing photography capturing the elegance of urban or rustic life is balanced with the architects’ design philosophies, perspectives, and transformational experiences. A meticulously curated collection designed to enchant, it overflows with stunning portraits of real homes – whether along the Pacific coast, nestled in the mountains, or in the heart of an acclaimed cityscape. Part anthropological and part declarative, the illustrious pages express a pioneering sense of place.
Romantic editorial and gorgeous imagery gently persuade the reader that we are indeed shaped by the structures we choose to inhabit. As Chad Oppenheim reminds in his foreword to the Florida volume: “Residential architecture tells the story of where we are as a civilization.”
Curator Beth Buckley shares that hardcover collections on the Southwestern and Midwestern U.S. are forthcoming and that Dubai, Australia, and other regionally distinctive editions will debut shortly thereafter. The complete series promises to be the premier capsule anthology of home.
