En plan for moderne livsstil.

I årene efter Anden Verdenskrig lancerede Arts & Architecture magazine et ambitiøst eksperiment: invitere tidens mest visionære arkitekter til at designe hjem, der var smukke, funktionelle, overkommelige og bygget til fremtiden. Resultatet blev Case Study House-programmet—en af de mest indflydelsesrige bevægelser inden for boligarkitektur.

Denne koncise bog udforsker de ikoniske hjem skabt af arkitekter som Charles Eames, Ray Eames, Richard Neutra og Pierre Koenig, hvis glas-og-stål-konstruktioner omdefinerede, hvad et hjem kunne være. Fyldt med fotografier, tegninger og historisk kontekst giver den en fascinerende introduktion til en bevægelse, hvis indflydelse stadig kan ses i moderne arkitektur og design.

En lille bog om nogle meget store idéer.

John ★★★★★

The layout flows so well you can practically walk through each house as you turn the pages—the floor plans are printed large enough to actually study, not just admire. I've spent hours tracing how the architects solved post-war living constraints, and it's made me rethink my own home's layout entire

Joshua Y. ★★★★★

The glossy pages and full-page photography really make the architects' visions pop, and the way the book walks through each experiment chronologically kept me flipping pages past midnight. I've already started sketching ideas from the floor plans for my own place.

Elizabeth Z. ★★★★★

The way this book frames post-war architecture as a social experiment rather than just a style guide is what hooked me. The original magazine layouts and architect profiles make it feel like you’re flipping through history, not just reading a summary.
