From the hundreds of modernist buildings, complexes and communes along the US Pacific Coast, author Sam Lubell has selected 10 of the must-see examples.
The western states of Washington, Oregon and California are home to some of America's, and arguably the world's, best examples of modernist architecture.
California in particular became synonymous with its abundance of grand houses built by architects that championed the mid-century style.
But this group also built churches, educational facilities, skyscrapers and whole communities using modernist principles.
The best of these are brought together in Lubell's Mid-Century Modern Architecture Travel Guide: West Coast USA, which was recently published by Phaidon and features photographs by Darren Bradley. "These are the ones that you absolutely must visit if you have to choose 10," the author told Dezeen.
