Modernism in Context

As a committed modernist, Lionel Morrison’s approach to architecture and design has been consistent and steadfast from his first project to the present. He adheres to the core principles of modernism while thoughtfully addressing the context and brief for each project.

Arranged in chronological order, the fourteen residences presented in this collection illustrate how Morrison’s architectural point of view, formed early in his career, has led to a consistent and distinguished body of work. Illustrated with stunning colour photography and detailed floor plans, the selected homes trace Morrison’s career from Texas to California to New Mexico.

Modernism in Context: Homes by Lionel Morrison is essential inspiration for those interested in architecture, modernism, and residential design. It is also an invaluable resource for architectural students and academics, offering insights into the design process from a contemporary modernist architect who has a distinctive style all his own.
