Reviews

"[O]ne can't think of a better medium to showcase the work of this obscure American midcentury Modernist architect, whose facility with the drafting pencil is the biggest revelation to be found in these pages. Lundy's drawings, both off-the-cuff ideations and measured delineations, are beautiful to behold."
- Metropolis Magazine Online

"Princeton Architectural Press takes on the difficult task of publishing the first book about Victor Lundy and does it with remarkable success....[T]his book provides a considered analysis of Lundy´s life and projects. Victor Lundy Artist Architect is a necessary read to understand the work of an indispensable American architect of modern history."
- Hidden Architecture

"This book fills a serious void in the history of Modernism, portraying in handsome images and insightful words accomplishments that too few are aware of..The book's initiator, contributor, and editor Donna Kacmar and its publisher Princeton Architectural Press have turned out a volume that deserves honors for its sheer visual elegance..The works so well documented in this book are inspiring reminders of what can be accomplished within the vocabulary of Modernism."
- DOCOMOMO-US Newsletter

"This is not just another architectural coffee-table book. Although all of the images are in black-and-white, there is plenty of visual appeal in the tasteful photographs of Lundy's curvaceous moldings of space. They make a strong case that Lundy was as talented as any "Sarasota School" architect. But the words count, too. Lundy's story is told not in archi-speak, but in a way that brings to life the process of architecture for lay people, as well as professional architects."
- Sarasota Herald-Tribune
