Case Study Houses. The Complete CSH Program 1945-1966. 40th Ed - Goessel Peter - książka
Producent: Taschen
The Case Study House program, running from 1945 to 1966, stands out as a landmark event in the realm of American architecture, and its impact is still unparalleled today. This initiative focused primarily on the Los Angeles region and resulted in the creation of 36 prototype homes. The main aim was to develop designs for modern residences that could be constructed both efficiently and affordably during the postwar construction expansion. The driving force behind the program was John Entenza, the editor of Arts & Architecture, an ardent modernism advocate who effectively leveraged his connections to engage some of the most outstanding architecture minds, including Richard Neutra, Charles and Ray Eames, and Eero Saarinen.The program's experimental nature led to the construction of homes that sought to redefine the concept of modern living, leaving a lasting imprint on both American and global architectural practices during and beyond its years of operation. TASCHEN offers a comprehensive look back at the entire initiative, complete with detailed documentation, stunning period photographs, and contemporary images of the homes that still exist today. It also features a wealth of detailed floor plans and sketches, providing a deep dive into this extraordinary chapter in architectural history.
