CASE STUDY HOUSES 40th ANNIVERSARY
CASE STUDY HOUSES 40th ANNIVERSARY
The Case Study House program (1945-1966) was an exceptional and groundbreaking event in the history of American architecture and remains unique to this day.
He focused on the Los Angeles area and oversaw the design of 36 housing prototypes, seeking to offer plans to build modern residences that would be cheaper and easier to execute during the postwar construction boom.
The main inspiring force for the show was Arts & Architecture editor John Entenza, a champion of modernity who had the right connections to attract the guild's greatest talents, such as Richard Neutra, Charles and Ray Eames, and Eero Saarinen. .
Highly experimental, the program created houses that were designed to redefine the modern home, and thus exerted a strong influence on architecture - American and international - both during the program's existence and up to this day.
This volume offers a monumental retrospective of the entire program with in-depth documentation, brilliant period photographs and, as for the houses still in existence, contemporary photos, as well as detailed plans and sketches.
