Case Study Houses, 1945-1962

Definitive account of one of the most unorthodox and influential design projects ever attempted. John Entenza, the dynamic young editor of Arts & Architecture magazine... commissioned a group of architects to test new concepts of plan, form and structure. The men were free to experiment as they pleased with new materials and techniques... Charles Eames was virtually unknown before his Case Study House; Pierre Koenig and Craig Ellwood became world famous for their experiments in steel. Case Study House architects earned an astonishing number of the highest professional awards. Hundreds of excellent black and white photos, renderings, section details and plans. Terrific 1999 reprint of the 1977 edition.

Nice, clean tight copy.
