Strata: A Desert Dwelling Hardcover with Slipcase McCown James Moore
The building of STRATA outside of Phoenix, Arizona, was an act of audacity, perseverance, and grit, as is any undertaking in the deserts of the American Southwest.The three responsible entities--Drewett Works Architecture, Desert Star Construction, and David Michael Miller, Ltd. Frank Lloyd Wright and Richard Neutra are just two modern masters who have attempted to tame the Arizona desert, make it habitable, and add to its natural beauty.STRATA celebrates modernist design in multiple ways. Interiors, drew on the long, great tradition of 20th-century modernism in Arizona, whose very name means "dry" (Arrida Zona) in Spanish.
Its deep overhanging eaves intersecting with each other at various angles recalls the best work of Wright. Its vast use of glass blurs the inside with the outside. Its expansive glass calls to mind Neutra's work and his insistence on architectural transparency.
