This issue of a+u magazine examines the work of nine Modern architects who designed residences in New Canaan, Connecticut, between the years 1947-1979.

Popularly known as the location of the Glass House by Philip Johnson, New Canaan, Connecticut, is home to a number of other striking modernist residences designed by Harvard graduates of his generation. After nearly 40 years, the homes conceived by Marcel Breuer, Alan Goldberg, Eliot Noyes, Landis Gores, John Johansen, John Black Lee, Hugh Smallen, Edward Durell Stone, and Frank Lloyd Wright still continue to fascinate.

Although now collectively called 'Mid-century Modern', no one style dominates these homes in New Canaan. The houses were built economically, modest in scale and some have now received careful additions. An exclusive view of what these works look like today is captured through new photographs by Micheal Biondo. Guest edited by Alan Goldberg this issue examines the thought processes behind the designs of the houses of that seminal era through a large collection of valuable original drawings and documents.
