Summary:
Forgotten Modern reveals the work of the innovative architects building in California from the 1930s to the 1970s. With groundbreaking and illuminating examples that will alter the way we think of California architecture, Hess and Weintraub focus on those that exemplify early mid-entury modern, variations on minimalism, and organic architecture.

Good Photographs, Basic Coverage of Modern Houses	Customer Rating:
This book has some great photos but the content is very middle of the line. Some of houses included really don't need to be in the book. I was hoping to find more relevant examples of structures that qualify as "Modern" or as part or as part of the modern movement.

Memories of Modern Architecture	Customer Rating:
Modern is not new. It has a history and this book remind us about it. The language of Modern Architecture change in time but au fond remains the same. The book is nice, good photos and has many examples of old modern.
