Description

The Case Study House program (1945–1966) was an outstanding and innovative event in the history of American architecture and remains unique to this day. The program, which focused on the Los Angeles area and oversaw the design of 36 prototype homes, aimed to provide plans for modern homes that could be easily and economically constructed during the post-war building boom. The central figure of the program was the director of Arts & Architecture, John Entenza, a proponent of modernism who had the right connections to attract some of the greatest architects, such as Richard Neutra, Charles and Ray Eames, and Eero Saarinen. Highly experimental, the program created homes designed to revolutionize modern housing and had a significant influence on architecture—both American and international—during its existence and up to the present day. TASCHEN offers you a retrospective of the entire program with extensive documentation, excellent period photographs, and for the homes that still exist, contemporary photographs, as well as extensive plans and sketches. Pages: 512, Year of Publication: 1116, Dimensions: 15.6x15.6cm
