New book out now!

At long last, my book Inside the Matrix: The Radical Designs of Ken Isaacs published by Half Letter Press is now available. Inside the Matrix surveys the highly individual practice of American architect and designer Ken Isaacs, whose populist, DIY designs created from the 1950s to the 1970s challenged mainstream definitions of modernism. Highlighted here are his Living Structures, Microhouses, and Alpha Chambers, experimental living and educational environments that provided alternative solutions to the spatial and environmental challenges of midcentury modern life.

A heartfelt thank you to Marc Fischer and Brett Bloom of Half Letter Press for their enthusiastic support of this book. Gratitude to the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts for their generous support. And thanks to Partner & Partners who have created a beautiful design that truly captures the spirit of Isaacs’s work.
