Urban Observer Book of the Month
So if Oprah can have a book club, then I want one too. This month's reading is Modernism Rediscovered by Pierluigi Serraino and photographer extrordinaire Julius Shulman. The book features Shulman's stunning postwar photography of the emerging West Coast Modernism.
An added treat (for me, at least). While looking on Chicago Bauhaus & Beyond's
website while doing yesterday's piece on modernism, I found a great 2006 interview with Shulman by ABC 7 Chicago's Kevin Roy. Click on the link to find out why he was here and the pretty cool proiect he was (is?) working on. Shulman turns 97 in October.

That´s a great book. Shows lots of amazing modern buildings otherwise unknown. Every Shulman pic is a work of art.
I love Chicago and really really enjoy checking out your site -almost- daily.
