| Summary |
"Since their origins over half a century ago, the Case Study Houses have ranked among the classics of architectural modernism." "In a journey into the present reality of the Case Study Houses, the two authors of this book have systematically visited and photographed the houses and their owners. Viewing these projects through the lens not only of practicing architects, teachers and critics, but also of representatives of Old Europe confronting the achievements of the New World, they describe and elaborate the stories of some of the most thrilling residential projects of the last century."--BOOK JACKET |
