Abstract

The Sarasota School of Architecture was the one of the largest collections of modern architecture in the States between the 1940s and the 1960s. This movement pursued not only modernism which started from European origins through Bauhaus by Walter Gropius, but also vernacular architecture which adapted from the Southwest Florida cultures, such as landscape, climate, and life style through making use of climate controlling design and local or native materials. The overall research evolves from the works of a pioneering and representative Sarasota School's architect: Paul Marvin Rudolph(1918-1997), who actively practiced his authentic design in Sarasota area. Based on Rudolph, this research chose three buildings which were designed by him and considered the most innovative and representative Sarasota School of Architecture's characteristics as case studies. Moreover, this research explores historic preservation as critical modernism in the Sarasota School of Architecture, not only revealing the historic preservation of America's vernacular architecture, but also scrutinizing the historic preservation of Rudolph's designed buildings.
