Sarasota Architecture
The Sarasota School of Architecture is characterized by its adaption of modern architecture to the Florida climate. Large sunshades, natural ventilation systems, full-height sliding glass doors, single-depth floor plans (no corridors), and walls of jalousie windows dominate many of these buildings, mostly built between 1941 and 1966. #Sarasota #Modern

On Paul Rudolph and Sarasota's Forgotten Modernist Mecca
Cohen Residence - The Sarasota School is the least well known of American modernism movements, but it is one of the most intriguing. Born from a combination of Bauhaus rigor and tropical building styles, but adapted to the housing demands of both returning G.I.s and bohemian beach-goers, the homes are practical yet creative, and entirely unpretentious.
