ISBN 978-3-8365-1021-9 Edition: German, English, French A monumental retrospective of the Case Study Houses program A monumental retrospective of the Case Study Houses program The "Case Study House Project" (1945-66) was an extraordinary, innovative and, to this day, unique event in the history of American architecture. It focused on the Los Angeles area and provided for the design of 36 prototypes that would enable the simple, low-cost construction of modern homes during the post-war building boom. The driving force behind this project was John Entenza, the publisher of Arts & Architecture and a champion of modernism, who was able to use his relevant connections to engage talents such as Richard Neutra, Charles and Ray Eames and Eero Saarinen.

This book is a monumental retrospective of the entire project, w
