Remarkably, their considerable influences were felt in the city of Colorado Springs during the late 1940s - Wright's through the work of his granddaughter, Elizabeth Wright Ingraham, and Mies's in the oeuvre of A. Gustaf Jan Ruhtenberg. Elaine Freed, author of a book about Ingraham's signature houses, turns attention here to Jan Ruhtenberg's journey from Riga to Berlin, then Stockholm and New York, and finally to Colorado Springs, where he designed and remodeled dozens of houses and other structures in the Miesian mode. After placing Ruhtenberg's work in the context of European and American modernism, Freed focuses on five unique houses in Colorado Springs, ranging from a modest \"cottage\" to a spacious Italian villa. Her insightful view includes Ruhtenberg's own home in the exclusive Broadmoor neighborhood. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDesign magazines in Europe and America celebrated Ruhtenberg's designs at midcentury, and the popular press did as well. His work appeared in\u003cem\u003e Progressive Architecture \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eArchitectural Forum \u003c\/em\u003e- and in \u003cem\u003eTime, Life\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eFortune\u003c\/em\u003e. Later, Ruhtenberg's legacy faded, but recently his design reputation has gained new respect. Modern at Midcentury: Ruhtenberg Revisited guarantees his proper place in the modernist pantheon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 178\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 10 x 8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 28, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49186205925528,"sku":"9781943829057","price":48.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8830\/4024\/files\/WXMwdFN6TmRaTjlnditNR3czaWdkZz09.webp?v=1780365093","url":"https:\/\/thepinkflamingobooks.myshopify.com\/products\/modern-at-midcentury-ruhtenberg-revisited-paperback","provider":"The Pink Flamingo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
