West Coast Modern Architecture

   

I just found out about Coast Modern, an amazing documentary about the West Coast's Modernist Architecture's roots - the new ideas about breaking barriers between indoor/outdoor space, relationships, materials.

Filmmakers Michael Bernard and Gavin Froome interview Arthur Erickson (Vancouver), Fred Bassetti (Seattle), Hernik Bull (Berkley), Michael Folonis (Santa Monica), Dion Neutra (Los Angeles) - son and partner of Modernist pioneer Richard Neutra, Barbara Bestor (LA) and others.

Legendary photographer Julius Shulman is featured along with the photographs that brought world attention to Southern California. He's known for steadily creating one of the most comprehensive visual chronologies of Modernist Architecture.

The trailer's available on Vimeo - it looks great.  The website is ablaze with photos/info, and you can follow them on Twitter to find out about the projected fall release.

Of course, the photos also stand out because of simple yet effective architectural structures.
