Case Study Houses

With 36 prototype designs, the Case Study House program created paradigms of modern living, whose influences extended far beyond the Los Angeles area. This essential introduction includes 150 photographs and floor plans to familiarize readers with each of these model homes and their architects, including Richard Neutra, Charles and Ray Eames, and Eero Saarinen. "It is the obligation of all those who serve the human desire for good living and make a living from it to demystify the hard facts and strip away the black magic that goes into the building 'house'." - John Entenza.
