If you have already created a profile on www.nbm.org, please sign in to autopopulate your information.Between 1961 and 1981, Horace Gifford (1932–92) designed beach homes on New York’s Fire Island that reflected the “oasis of free love” of the pre-AIDS, post-Stonewall era. Christopher Rawlins, principal of New York-based Rawlins Design and author of Fire Island Modernist: Horace Gifford and the Architecture of Seduction (Metropolis Books, 2013) chronicles the life of this largely-forgotten, complex architect whose body of work stands for a lost generation.
