Ahavath Achim Synagogue

It's been a while since I posted to this blog - thought I'd do something a bit more recent. These images are of the Ahavath Achim Synagogue on Peachtree Battle taken on 2012.03.18 (arts and crafts show). It was built in 1958 and has many modernist features - I particularly like the brick to stone contrasts, the large vertical-slit stain-glass windows and the fabulous entryway! They just don't make them like this anymore...

More information on the Synagogue here:

There are a few other modernists structures nearby including homes on Peachtree Battle.

Georgia Tech - Fabulous Screen Wall

I attended a DOCOMOMO lecture last summer and took this shot while walking across Georgia Tech towards the lecture hall. I'm not sure what building it is but I believe it's one of the science buildings. Check out the lobby and fantastic screen wall. By the trees to the left I'm thinking this on has been there a while....

Loving it!

Hello and Welcome

I started this blog so I could more accurately catalog the various modern homes and buildings I come across in my travels (mostly in and across Georgia). I've found it cumbersome to design dedicated pages highlighting the many areas and states where I've found wonderful (and sometimes not-so) architecture on my Modern sites, ModusModern.com and NorthcrestModern.com. Showing my images in blog form also allows readers to publish comments directly, instead of sending me emails which I may or may not get or respond to - this format is frankly just better. Initially I'll convert some pages into blog format that I've already published, adding additional images as I go along to spice things up. The title is a play on the film "Desperately Seeking Susan" starring Madonna.

I'll start with some images taken a few years ago in Clarksville and Nashville Tennessee, then put some stuff up from last year, finally catching up to this year.
