Category:Sarasota School of Architecture

English: The Sarasota School of Architecture, sometimes called Sarasota Modern, is a regional style of post-war modern architecture (1941 - 1966) that emerged on Florida's Central West Coast, in and around the city of Sarasota, Florida. It is characterized by open-plan structures, often with large planes of glass to facilitate natural illumination and ventilation, that address the unique indigenous requirements of the regional climate. Many of the architects who pioneered this style became world-renowned later in their careers, and several significant buildings remain in Sarasota today.
