视觉信息的交流对建筑运动的发展、演变和推广至关重要。如果一个建筑物没有被大多数人看到，其照片很少被发表或者从来没有被发表过，那么它就不会进入建筑领域的谈话中。朱利乌斯•舒尔曼(Julius Shulman)拍摄的许多建筑就遭遇了这种命运，他们的图像被遗忘了。通过这本书，TASCHEN出版社让它们重见天日，向各种形式的加利福尼亚州现代主义表达了敬意。

朱利乌斯•舒尔曼被遗弃的文件向我们展示了已经沉寂许多年的现代主义的另外一面。《现代主义的重新发现》将近200张被遗忘的杰作汇集在了一起，向这些鲜为人知但为现代建筑运动做出过杰出贡献的作品表达了敬意。就像偷偷走进一段秘密历史，进入到那些很少被人见到且几乎不被人欣赏的住宅。

The buildings burned in our memories, which to us represent the spirit of '50s and '60s architectural design, were those whose pictures were widely published in magazines and books; but what about those that got lost in the process, hardly or never appearing in publication?The exchange of visual information is crucial to the development, evolution, and promotion of architectural movements. If a building is not widely seen, its photograph rarely or never published, it simply does not enter into architectural discourse. Many buildings photographed by Julius Shulman suffered this fate, their images falling into oblivion. With this book, TASCHEN brings them to light, paying homage to California Modernism in all its forms.The abandoned files of Julius Shulman show us another side of Modernism that has stayed quiet for so many years. Bringing together nearly 200 forgotten masterpieces, Modernism Rediscovered pays tribute to these lesser known yet outstanding contributions to the modern architectural movement. It's like sneaking into a private history, into homes that have rarely been seen and hardly appreciated as of yet.
