Sponsored by Arts & Architecture magazine, the program sought to respond to the postwar building boom with prototype modern homes that could be both easily replicated and readily affordable to the average American. Concentrated on the Los Angeles area, the Case Study Houses included 36 model homes commissioned from such major architects of the day as Richard Neutra, Raphael Soriano, Craig Ellwood, Charles and Ray Eames, Pierre Koenig, Eero Saarinen, A. Quincy Jones, and Ralph Rapson. Their criteria included “using, as far as is practicable, many war-born techniques and materials best suited to the expression of man’s life in the modern world.” The results of the program would redefine the modern home and extend influence not only across the United States but around the world. This compact guide includes all of the Case Study Houses with over 150 photos and plans, as well as a map showing locations of all sites, including those that no longer exist 650 0 Dwellings|zCalifornia, Southern|xDesign and construction 650 0 Architecture, Domestic|zCalifornia, Southern 650 7 Bostadshus|2sao 650 7 Bostäder|2sao 650 7 Arkitektur|2sao 650 7 Architecture, Domestic.|2fast 650 7 Dwellings|xDesign and construction.|2fast 651 7 Förenta staterna|2sao 651 7 Förenta staterna|zKalifornien|2sao 651 7 California, Southern.|2fast 700 1 Gossel, Peter|4edt 700 1 Goessel, Peter|4edt 830 0 Basic art series 2.0 907 00 180105
