    Celebrating the ultimate masterpieces of modernist design, from the Arts and Crafts movement to the 21st century, Total Design offers an intimate tour of homes conceived as complete works of art. Each of the spectacular homes that make up Total Design demonstrates how an architect realized a unified vision across all aspects of design—architecture, furniture, layout, decorative objects, color, and gardens. Showcasing masterpieces of modern architecture conceived as complete works of art, inside and out, author George H. Marcus, a veteran chronicler of modernist design, offers a highly accessible tour of the creations of some of the 20th century’s greatest architects and designers, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto, Eero Saarinen, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and Gio Ponti. Together, these design masterpieces offer a stunning glimpse into the many modes of modernist design, from the inventive refinement of Pierre Chareau to the colorful Nordic forms of Finn Juhl to the 21st-century Expressionism of Daniel Libeskind.
