Kurzbeschreibung
Das "Case-Study-House-Projekt" (1945-66) war ein außergewöhnliches,innovatives und bis zum heutigen Tag einzigartiges Ereignis in derGeschichte der amerikanischen Architektur. Es konzentrierte sich auf dieGegend um Los Angeles und sah die Gestaltung von 36 Prototypen vor, dieim Bau-Boom der Nachkriegsjahre die einfache, günstige Konstruktion vonmodernen Wohnhäusern ermöglichen sollten.Die treibende Kraft hinter diesem Projekt war John Entenza, der Herausgeber von Arts & Architecture und ein Verfechter des Modernismus, der mit seineneinschlägigen Verbindungen Talente wie Richard Neutra, Charles und Ray Eames und Eero Saarinen verpflichten konnte. Das äußerst experimentelle Projekt brachte Häuser hervor, durch die modernes Wohnen neu definiertwerden sollte, hatte somit einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf die amerikanische wie auch die internationale Architektur, zu seiner Zeit und sogar heute noch. Dieses Buch ist eine monumentale Retrospektive des gesamten Projekts, mit umfassender Dokumentation, ausgezeichneten Fotografien aus der Entstehungszeit und aktuellen Aufnahmen von den noch existierenden Häusern, sowie mit detaillierten Grundrissen und Skizzen.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
A sumptuous visual record of this southern Californian house design program. Original published by Taschen in a jumbo edition. This reprint celebrates their twenty-fifth publishing anniversary and it's slightly smaller than the original book but still beautifully printed with English, German and French text.
Each of the thirty-six houses is covered in the same way with:
1 A short introduction by editor Smith
2 The relevant editorial copy from Arts & Architecture magazine about the house.
3 Photos, plans, diagrams and illustrations. Plenty of the photos are by the brilliant Jules Shulman.
4 Contemporary colour photos of some houses.
Some of houses only have a spread or two (the unbuilt ones) while others have several spreads, Pierre Koenig's famous Stahl House (#22) has twenty pages. I have given book only four stars because it is not as complete as it should be, the focus is really a visual history of the Study Houses and that's it! What is missing is any historical and contemporary background and surely the reason the whole project was important was the influence it had on other architects, house builders, planners, the public and manufactures.
To get a perspective you will have to get Elizabeth Smith's earlier book 'Blueprints for Modern Living' published in conjunction with an exhibition in Los Angeles in 1989-1990. As the sub-title to the book says: 'History and Legacy of the Case Study Houses'. I found this a marvelous book though there are only forty-two pages of text and photos on the actual houses the rest of the 256 pages place them in the context of Californian living and mid-fifties American architecture.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
also das buch ist einfach super, sonst hätt ichs ja nicht bestellt ;)
nachdem ich schon ein paar der csh besichtigt hab, musste ich es einfach in meinem regal stehen haben. ausserdem sind die projekte sehr schön dargestellt, trotz oder gerade wegen einfacher grafischer mittel. die perspektiven und grundrisse beschreiben die projekte sehr gut - und sind wie ich meine mit viel liebe zum detail und zum plan ausgearbeitet. in der heutigen zeit fehlt dies leider oftmals.
auf jeden fall ist das buch eine bereicherung für jede architekturbibliothek!
nur verpackt hätte es besser sein können, kam nämlich mit ein paar macken am umschlag bei mir an.

an affordable version of the original Jumbo book, thanks Taschen!

I've had my eye on this book in the original format for a few years now, but could not part with the $$$ for it. When I saw this 25th Anniversary edition I got so excited that I had to order it right away. Ok, I know it's not the "real" version of the book, but for less than half the price who cares. To be honest with you, this smaller version of the book is so big I do not think I could handle a larger book. You definitely have to set this book down on a table to read it, otherwise it is unmanageable. As for content, wait, let me go over to my bar and make a martini. Yeah, that's better. The beautiful photography of Julius Shulman truly transforms you back to a better time! There are also floor plans, sketches, notes, and of course the text of the book. You can tell they used the original plates for this book, since the font is quite small, but definitely readable. I'm sure in the original format the text would appear normal size. In most cases though, you won't be looking at the text in this book, this is a PICTURE book, and what a picture book it is! A ring a ding ding! Oh, wait that's the martini kicking in. Once I started looking at this book, I watched a documentary on Julius Shulman, called Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman, which had many of these houses in it and so accompanies this book, it should be included with it. Since it is not though, you should order it WITH the book. For any fan of Modernism, this book is a must, I love it! This is where it starts. Now if they would only come out with a cheap version of that Arts & Architecture magazine set that started the Case Study House program....

Beautiful book, affordable price

I had been ogling the super-deluxe edition of this hefty book, and was very pleased to find that the "bargain" edition was as lovely as the deluxe edition - without needing a weight belt to lift it. (I accidentally ordered two copies and it came with a "Caution! Heavy!" label.) I am so pleased with the book as a gift for my spouse that I'm keeping the accidental second copy for a gift for another MCM fan who I know will love it.
Great illustrations - photos, sketches, diagrams - includes lots of interesting bits about the thinking behind the design. Lots of ideas too for built-ins as well as showcasing popular MCM furniture.
The only downside of this edition is that the print is a bit small - but being able to actually fit it on a bookshelf is a really nice trade off.
If you love MCM, this is a must-have for your collection.
