Since the popular Museum of Contemporary Art exhibit of 1989, Blueprint for Modern Living, much attention has been paid to the pioneering work done by the architects of the Case Study Program. Sponsored by John Entenza's Art & Architectue Magazine, the Case Study Houses program brought new thinking, techniques, and materials to post-war California house building. Contains the work of Charles Eames, Eero Saarinen, Craig Ellwood, Pierre Koenig, Richard Neutra, William Wurster, and others.

Nice copy. glad to finally get it. Thanks. The "new" followup version which shows the homes "current" status & color photos via 2015/16 period also is a good one for comparison to the original "interior/exteriors" and how they had stayed same or changed/altered.

3.0 out of 5 stars What a Great book!
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2009

I remember seeing this book on my mother's coffee table as a child. It was not this one it was the more expensive hardback edition. I wish this book was a required read for home builders these days they could have learned a lot about personal style and function just by understanding what the Case Study Houses were all about. I mainly purchased this book because of my dream home "Case study house 22". It was amazing how well written this book was although it did not give too much information as to how much the houses cost to build back then and more detailed pictures it was a enjoyable read. There are more books that have color pictures but they just don't have as many pictures as this one.

Una cuidada re-edición de libro original, tiene el encanto de ser un texto contemporáneo que no pierde fuerza ni certeza. El libro es un texto de arquitectura de los "de antes" con muchos planos e imágenes que ayudan a comprender la arquitectura del momento. Un texto preciso y una edición preciosa.
