The mid-century architecture of the Hamptons is well documented, but Fire Island’s many first-rate homes have eluded critical attention. Horace Gifford, a protégé of Louis Kahn and Paul Rudolph, led the modernist transformation of Fire Island, designing 70 homes across the island and 30 more further afield. Christopher Rawlins, a practicing architect and writer, will present a preview of his upcoming Horace Gifford monograph, to be published by Princeton Architectural Press.
