Quincy Jones and Ralph Rapson. Among its principles was the use, wherever possible, of techniques and materials developed during the war and adapted to a modern way of life. The result redefined the concept of contemporary housing and influenced residential architecture far beyond the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compact guide from TASCHEN brings together all the Case Study House projects, illustrated with over 150 photographs and plans, and includes a map showing their locations, including those that no longer exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover: Hardback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 96.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: Spanish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52882967920987,"sku":"978-3-8365-7082-4","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/9696\/4443\/files\/TASCHEN-CASESTUDYHOUSES.jpg?v=1762251287","url":"https:\/\/castroseis.com\/en\/products\/case-study-houses","provider":"castroseis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
