“This book is intentionally different. Its unbound pages allow it to remain a living document, growing as new projects are realized, while the projects themselves are presented without chronology, type,scale, or budget—highlighting the timeless ideas that connect them and the enduring principles of a Simply Modern architecture.”

Foreword Robert McCarter
Introduction Roney J. Mateu FAIA
Commentary Guy Peterson, FAIA and Lawrence Scarpa, FAIA
Today we are often asked to believe that modern architecture is no longer a living, ever-transforming tradition of practice, but merely another “style” available for selection by the eclectic designer. Directly opposite stands the work of Mateu Architecture – in his 45 years of practicing architecture in Miami, Roney Mateu has designed and built modern architecture, for modern clients, in a modern city. Economical and yet expressive, functional and yet experientially rich, constructed of modest materials and yet full of generous light, Mateu’s buildings are examples of a vibrant, humane, and uncompromised modern architecture – simply modern.
Robert McCarter, from the foreword to Simply Modern
Simply Modern: The Work of Mateu Architecture offers an exciting overview of the work, career and philosophy of Miami-based architect Roney Mateu. Featuring highlights from almost half a century of architectural practice in Florida and elsewhere, the projects are accompanied by expert photography, descriptions and graphic documentation as well as illuminating essays by Mateu and chosen critics and colleagues.
