Phaidon Features Judy Edelman in The Brutalists: Brutalism’s Best Architects

Phelps House and Judith Edelman were featured in Phaidon’s recent publication, The Brutalists: Brutalism’s Best Architects— “If Brutalism is very often architecture aiming for the dramatic expression of its function, here it is modest and comparatively unassuming, yet, as in the example of Phelps House, still confident and assured in its convictions—just like the architect.”

“Commodity, firmness, and delight. Vitruvius said that. And I sort of believe it. I think structure is fascinating, and as I said, space is the best medium to work with that I can think of. There was never any question about modern or not modern. Great attention to structural integrity. When the way the building is put together is apparent; when it doesn’t look like something else.” –Judy Edelman, 2012.
