Case Study

A blueprint for modern living. In the years following World War II, Arts & Architecture magazine launched an ambitious experiment: invite the era's most visionary architects to design homes that were beautiful, functional, affordable, and built for the future. The result was the Case Study House program—one of the most influential movements in residential architecture. This concise volume explores the iconic homes created by architects including Charles Eames, Ray Eames, Richard Neutra, and Pierre Koenig, whose glass-and-steel structures redefined what a home could be. Filled with photographs, drawings, and historical context, it offers a fascinating introduction to a movement whose influence can still be seen in contemporary architecture and design. A small book about some very big ideas.
