Christopher Rawlins, principal of New York-based Rawlins Design and author of Fire Island Modernist: Horace Gifford and the Architecture of Seduction (Metropolis Books, 2013) chronicles the life of this largely-forgotten, complex architect whose body of work stands for a lost generation. A book signing follows the lecture.
