Take a drive through affluent suburbs in New York and New Jersey and you’ll find houses built in an array of styles: Victorian, Colonial, Tudor. But every so often, in counties like Westchester, Suffolk, and Sussex, you’ll come across a home designed by the architect Myron Goldfinger. Born in Atlantic City in 1933, Goldfinger began to win acclaim in the 1970s. His designs combined a modern sensibility with an appreciation for classical structure. For instance, a Goldfinger home might feature the sloping roof of a Roman domus, yet one that juts out from the home at a surprising angle. Goldfinger emphasized the use of circles, squares, and triangles in his designs, and employed these shapes as a basis for abstract and innovative blueprints. A multi-media exhibition at the Paul Rudolph Institute for Modern Architecture features drawings and prints of Goldfinger’s built and unbuilt visions. —Jack Sullivan
