Paul Hayden Kirk and the Rise of Northwest Modern
This new book explores, for the first time, the prolific career of architect Paul Hayden Kirk, who overcame polio and the Communist Red-Scare of the 1950s to design hundreds of buildings throughout the Pacific Northwest. Active from 1940 through the 1970’s, Kirk designed homes, medical clinics, and other buildings of suburbia in a manner that combined modernism with the wood-building traditions of Japan.
"Paul Hayden Kirk and the Rise of Northwest Modern" tells the story of midcentury modern design in this distant corner of the nation. This 272-page, hard-cover book is illustrated with hundreds of color and black-and-white photographs and vintage architectural drawings. Over a hundred key projects are described and diagrammed. An essential book for any Northwest architect or mid century fan.
