現代生活的藍圖。
二戰結束後的數年間，《Arts & Architecture》雜誌發起了一項大膽實驗：邀請當時最具遠見的建築師，設計出兼具美感、功能、經濟實惠且面向未來的住宅。這項實驗催生了「案例住宅計畫」——住宅建築史上最具影響力的運動之一。
這本精簡的專書深入探索了查爾斯·伊姆斯、雷·伊姆斯、理查·諾伊特拉與皮埃爾·科恩尼格等建築師打造的經典住宅。這些以玻璃與鋼結構重新定義住宅可能性的作品，透過照片、設計圖與歷史背景的呈現，為讀者提供了一場引人入勝的入門導覽。這股運動的影響力至今仍可在當代建築與設計中清晰看見。
一本關於宏大理念的小書。
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
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.
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.
