Brooklyn Modern is the first book to explore the connection between Brooklyn’s astounding rebirth and its emerging architecture. As the new cultural heart of New York, Brooklyn has recently attracted many young people interested in creating their own sense of space, as well as in renovating brownstones and townhouses. The results are homes that express the optimism, resourcefulness, and experimentation of many of Brooklyn’s bohemian residents. Cutting-edge new public buildings have also enhanced the area’s cachet.Working with spatial and financial restraints, architects in Brooklyn have demonstrated deft solutions to urban living everywhere. Likewise, the architects working in Brooklyn are no longer just local firms, but "star-chitects" such as Frank Gehry, Richard Meier, and David Adjaye, among others. Essays by two very popular bloggers, Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge and Jonathan Butler of Brownstoner, give perspective on new ways of living as aesthetics and landscape change.

New York のピックアップされた様々な室内を紹介している書籍。 写真が大変多くて、観ていても楽しめる。ただ個人的に表紙の やや枯れたイメージ的な室内が紹介されるものと思ったら、案外 そうではない物もかなり多くて、個人的にややう〜んといった 感じでした。けれど一般的にはとても良くまとまっている、 大変観やすい書籍です。
The photos are too dark and too matte. They're hard to study somehow. Also, as far as I can tell, "modern" means two things:
* Do have custom book cases. * Don't have any stuff.
Otherwise, it was pretty thin on inspiration.

This is an awesome and colorful architecture book focusing on all types of design in Brooklyn. I find myself picking it up off the book shelf almost weekly. The photos make for great inspiration and work as individual art pieces all by themselves. Pick it up and you won't be able to put it down :-)

I love the style. I'm not from Brooklyn, but whenever I visit my friend's place in Brooklyn I always see these small details. Very original style that reflects modern time. This is more of a smart way to be stylish. Great coffee table piece as well. (Note: I am not an interior designer, but I am a graphic designer that cares)
