The Mosby Files is an editorial archive dedicated to exploring the legacy of American Modernism and its influence on architecture, design, and visual culture.
Rather than treating modernism as a single movement defined by Bauhaus, the project uncovers the parallel ideas that emerged across America, Europe, and the Soviet Union—revealing how different cultures shaped a shared vision for the modern world.
Inspired by the feeling of opening an old research folder, the website presents architecture through carefully curated stories, archival materials, blueprints, and historical context.
It invites visitors to explore the people, philosophies, and buildings that transformed modern architecture, while challenging familiar narratives about twentieth-century design.
More than an architectural archive, The Mosby Files is a thoughtful editorial experience that connects history, culture, politics, and design—showing how architecture reflects the societies that create it.
