Summary

Brooklyn Modern: Stories of Architecture and Design is the first book to explore the connection between Brooklyn's astounding rebirth as the cultural heart of New York City and its emerging architecture. As real estate prices have doubled in the borough over the past five years, many young families have moved there in the hopes of renovating brownstones and townhouses. The results are homes, as well as many new public buildings, that express the optimism, resourcefulness, and experimentation of many of Brooklyn's most famous residents. Because many of the constraints-spatial and financial--that Brooklynites cope with are the same ones people in cities such as Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and other old, urban centres, this book's lessons and appeal transcends geographic boundaries. Essays by two local bloggers whose combined daily audience numbers 30,000 people, and a conclusion by longtime Brooklyn resident and editor of Architectural Record, Robert Ivy, give perspective on the city's changing styles and landscape
