Another project of Paul Rudolph’s early career that interests me is the Alexander Harkavy residence in Siesta Key, Sarasota Florida, which he built in 1946. This building interest me because in high school my baseball team would always play in Sarasota, Florida, so that is why this building caught my eye. This building is was a hard project for Rudolph because of the high humidity and hot climate. With sea breeze by day and land breeze by night, and rainy summers and dry sunny winters, Rudolph really had to design a modern technological building, for a home that has to be versatile in the climate that it resides in. The building had huge sliding glass walls, and ventilated masonry walls that resisted the moisture and an insulated roof. These are just some examples of the technology that Paul Rudolph put into this building. I personally can see myself loving this house and wanting to live in it.
