MODERNIST GREATS

In new book, Modernist Escapes, designer Stefi Orazi has carefully catalogued accessible architecture around the world – all are available to visit, with some open to overnight stays. There are imposing brutalist hotels and intimate modernist houses, but perhaps its most appealing insight is those the architects designed for themselves, including Ernö Goldfinger’s Hampstead residence that horrified his neighbours. As public access is often a vital source of funds for upkeep, engaging with these design icons is also a pledge to preserve them (Prestel, £29.99).
