A Season and Reason for Modernism The thanksgiving break allowed me the time to catch up on some modernist inspiration. Watching the film on Julius Shulman was first on the list. It was the kick in the pants I needed to start off a long winter season reflecting on my efforts here. The film captures a good portion of 20th century modernism in the states. Listening to these thoughtful architects reminded me of a recent conversation I had with local Siegman Associates and the thinking behind their latest construction on Town Mountain Rd. As a revival of modern thought and construction sweeps the world this home represents a foundation of site specific modern design that could take deeper root in Asheville and the region. If you haven't seen this film it is time to do so. Happy Holiday![youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6JzyCj-Pbk]
