The Distinct Modernism of San Diego

New Book Illuminates the Birth of Modern Architecture in San Diego

The Distinct Modernism of San Diego tells the story of the emergence of a distinct modernism in San Diego over the course of the twentieth century. The story begins with Irving J. Gill and explores his legacy in the city through an examination of the work of seven other architects.
