"Winner of the 1999 Philip Johnson Award presented by the Society of Architectural Historians. essays by Reyner Banham Dolores Hayden Thomas Hine Thomas S. Hines Esther McCoy Helen Searing Elizabeth A. T. Smith and Kevin Starr. One of Southern California's most significant contributions to modern architecture was the Case Study House program sponsored by John Entenza's Art & Architecture magazine. Between 1945 and 1966 thirty-six experimental prototypes were designed and the majority built. Featuring some of the most important architects of the region and generation including Charles Eames Craig Ellwood A. Quincy Jones Pierre Koenig Richard Neutra and Raphael Soriano-the program reflected the modernist goal of reinventing the house as a way of redefining living. A number of the essayists in the book suggest that what made the houses distinctive and influential was not so much their International Style modernism as how that style was domesticated and scaled to the single-family house. . . and how it forecast what came to be known as the California lifestyle. In addition to the eight main essays the book which was based on a 1989-1990 exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art MOCA Los Angeles contains entries by the exhibition curator Elizabeth A. T. Smith and research assistant Amelia Jones on the thirty-six Case Study projects documentation of six projects commissioned by MOCA biographies of the thirty architects involved in the program and a wealth of photographs drawings plans and scale models."

bOb Van Reeth : architect / Bob Van Reeth : architect

softcover, 325 x 245 mm . 158 pages. : ill. Fine condition! English text. ISBN 9789490814045. In de catalogus bOb Van Reeth ?Architect worden veertig ontwerpen verzameld die Van Reeth de afgelopen halve eeuw heeft gemaakt. Eerder dan een oeuvre complète is het een dwarsdoorsnede doorheen zijn werk, als een greatest hits-compilatie waarin bijna elk jaar uit zijn ontwerperscarrière is vertegenwoordigd. In het zichtbaar maken van een architecturale aanpak door middel van afzonderlijke en opeenvolgende werken, van de jaren zestig tot vandaag, wil dit boek een leemte in de architectuurcultuur van de Lage Landen opvullen ? Van Reeths werk werd voor het laatst van begin tot eind in boekvorm bijeengebracht in 1985. De veertig projecten in dit boek worden telkens begeleid en toegelicht door één reeds bestaande tekst: conceptnota?s van de hand van Van Reeth zelf, maar ook fragmenten uit interviews, essays, kranten- of tijdschriftartikels, recensies, studententhesissen en architectuurjaarboeken. Zo blijft er ook op papier iets bewaard van de consistentie en diversiteit die de aanpak van Van Reeth gedurende vijf decennia heeft gekenmerkt, en die keer op keer, project na project, dankzij een krachtige ontwerpkeuze is mogelijk gemaakt. Tentoonstelling: Centre for Fine Arts [Brussels]. 2013/06/13 - 2013/09/08 /// The catalog bOb Van Reeth ? Architect collects forty designs that Van Reeth has made over the past half century. Rather than a complete oeuvre, it is a cross-section through his work, like a greatest hits compilation in which almost every year of his design career is represented. In making an architectural approach visible through separate and successive works, from the 1960s to today, this book aims to fill a gap in the architectural culture of the Low Countries ? Van Reeth's work was last published in book form from start to finish. brought together in 1985. The forty projects in this book are each accompanied and explained by one pre-existing text: concept notes by Van Reeth himself, but also excerpts from interviews, essays, newspaper or magazine articles, reviews, student theses and architectural yearbooks. In this way, something is preserved on paper of the consistency and diversity that has characterized Van Reeth's approach over five decades, and which has been made possible time and again, project after project, thanks to a strong design choice.
