Audience: General/trade. This is TASCHEN's 25th anniversary-special edition! This is the pioneering project that sought to bring modernism to the masses. The Case Study House program (1945-1966) was an exceptional, innovative event in the history of American architecture and remains to this day unique. The program, which concentrated on the Los Angeles area and oversaw the design of 36 prototype homes, sought to make available plans for modern residences that could be easily and cheaply constructed during the postwar building boom. Highly experimental, the program generated houses that were designed to redefine the modern home, and thus had a pronounced influence on architecture-American and international-both during the program's existence and even to this day. This compact guide includes all projects featured in our XL version, with over 150 photos and plans and a map of where all houses are (or were) located. **If you have any queries about this book, please do not hestiate to contact us at hello@ravenbooks. ie**

Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Das Case Study House-Programm (1945-1966) war in der Geschichte der amerikanischen Architektur außergewöhnlich und innovativ-und ist bis zum heutigen Tage einzigartig. Es konzentrierte sich auf die Gegend von Los Angeles und beinhaltete das Design von 36 Prototyp-Häusern-mit dem Ziel, Pläne für moderne Wohnungen zur Verfügung zu stellen, die während des Nachkriegs-Baubooms schnell und preiswert errichtet werden konnten. Das experimentelle Programm arbeitete mit Häusern, die das moderne Heim neu definieren sollten, und hatte während seiner Laufzeit und darüber hinaus einen nennenswerten Einfluss auf die amerikanische und internationale Architektur. Dieser kompakte Guide stellt alle Projekte aus unserer XL-Version vor; mit mehr als 150 Fotos sowie Plänen und einer Karte der (zum Teil ehemaligen) Standorte der Häuser.
