John Gendall MDes ’06 released Rocky Mountain Modern: Contemporary Alpine Homes. Published with Monacelli Press (June 2022), this book presents 18 new and recent houses built in the Rocky Mountain region, from Canada to New Mexico, examining the relationship between aesthetics and the functional demands of what can be an extreme environmental context. It situates these projects in a broader historical arc by presenting a brief history of architectural modernism in the region, including designs from Mies van der Rohe, Breuer, and Neutra.
