Cool Hunting, a blog dedicated to cool things worldwide, has a post about Brooklyn Modern, a new book from Rizzoli, about Brooklyn’s modern architecture boom. Written by Diana Lind, Contribution by Robert Ivy, Photographed by Yoko Inoue, the book is described as “the first book to explore the connection between Brooklyn’s astounding rebirth and its emerging architecture.”

There hasn’t been a period of such a fervent excitement about Brooklyn homes since the advent of the brownstone more than 150 years ago. In Brooklyn Modern”, Diana Lind examines this architecture and interior design boom through 18 particularly innovative living spaces and the homeowners who designed them. In addition to Lind, the book includes essays by the blogerati, Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge and Jonathan Butler of Brownstoner, who all rhapsodize on some of the exciting new aesthetics within “the new cultural heart of New York.”
