the 941

I’m in the middle of working on a story about some of the “hidden gems” of the Sarasota School of Architecture (stay tuned, folks!) and just today received a huge boost to my cause: Andrew Weaving’s handsome hardback Sarasota Modern. Loaded with page after page of beautifully rendered photographs � both new and historical � of buildings by the bright lights of the Sarasota School, the book is a rich resource. Essays and notes by Weaving bring cohesion to the jumble of images, helping the layman (i.e. me) understand what made the SRQ style so significant. And while it’s heartening that a lot of these homes are being preserved by the more enlightened amongst us, looking through the pages is a little heart-tugging: It gives you a glimpse at what so much more of Sarasota could look like today with a little more architectural imagination.
