现代住宅

“案例研究住宅”计划的一次完整回顾

“案例研究住宅”计划（1945-1966年）是美国建筑史上的一场创新的特别活动，至今仍然****。该计划在洛杉矶地区进行并监督了36个样板房的设计，它旨在在战后的建筑热潮中提供建造容易，成本不高的现代住宅设计图。

该计划的主要推动者是《艺术与建筑》杂志的编辑约翰•恩坦扎，他是现代主义的拥护者，人脉甚广，吸引了几位建筑界最**的人才，如理查德•纽特拉、查尔斯和雷•埃姆斯以及埃罗•沙里宁。该计划具有高度的实验性，其设计的房屋旨在重新定义现代住宅，并在该项目存在期间甚至到今天都对美国和国际建筑产生了明显的影响。

TASCHEN为您回顾了整个计划，书中包含全面的文献资料、当时的精彩照片，以及仍然存在的房屋的当代照片，还有大量的平面图和草图。

摄影师介绍

美国摄影师朱利叶斯•舒尔曼（Julius Shulman）拍摄的加州建筑图片已经深深地印在了20世纪的视网膜上。一本没有舒尔曼的现代建筑专著是不可想象的。他的一些建筑照片，如弗兰克•劳埃德•赖特或皮埃尔•科尼格的杰出建筑的**照片，已经被出版了无数次。像查尔斯•伊姆斯（Charles Eames）的建筑以及他的密友理查德•诺伊特拉（Richard Neutra）的建筑的杰出之处，首先是由舒尔曼的摄影作品表现出来的。他高清作品要求建筑摄影必须被视为一种独立的艺术形式。舒尔曼的每张图片都凝聚了对建筑及其在景观中的位置的感知和理解。精确的构图不仅揭示了建筑物表面背后的建筑理念，而且还揭示了整个时代的愿景和希望。在他的作品中始终存在着一种人性，即使实际的照片中一个人影也没有。今天，舒尔曼记录的大量建筑已经消失或被粗暴地改造，但人们对他的先锋图像的渴求却比以往任何时候都强烈。

The Case Study House program is a landmark of American architecture. Its driving force, John Entenza, was a champion of Modernism who gathered some of history’s greatest talents, including Richard Neutra, Charles and Ray Eames, and Eero Saarinen. This retrospective revisits all 36 prototype homes through comprehensive documentation, photography, floor plans, and sketches.

The Modern Home

A complete retrospective of the Case Study Houses program

The Case Study House program (1945–

1966) was an exceptional, innovative event in the history of American architecture and remains to this day unique. The program, which concentrated on the Los Angeles area and oversaw the design of 36 prototype homes, sought to make available plans for modern residences that could be easily and cheaply constructed during the postwar building boom.

The program’s chief motivating force was Arts & Architecture editor John Entenza, a champion of modernism who had all the right connections to attract some of architecture’s greatest talents, such as Richard Neutra, Charles and Ray Eames, and Eero Saarinen. Highly experimental, the program generated houses that were designed to redefine the modern home, and had a pronounced influence on architecture—American and international—

both during the program’s existence and even to this day.

TASCHEN brings you a retrospective of the entire program with comprehensive documentation, brilliant photographs from the period and, for the houses still in existence, contemporary photos, as well as extensive floor plans and sketches.

The photographer

American photographer Julius Shulman’s images of Californian architecture have burned themselves into the retina of the 20th century. A book on modern architecture without Shulman is inconceivable. Some of his architectural photographs, like the iconic shots of Frank Lloyd Wright’s or Pierre Koenig’s remarkable structures, have been published countless times. The brilliance of buildings like those by Charles Eames, as well as those of his close friend, Richard Neutra, was first brought to light by Shulman’s photography. The clarity of his work demanded that architectural photography had to be considered as an independent art form. Each Shulman image unites perception and understanding for the buildings and their place in the landscape. The precise compositions reveal not just the architectural ideas behind a building’s surface, but also the visions and hopes of an entire age. A sense of humanity is always present in his work, even when the human figure is absent from the actual photographs. Today, a great many of the buildings documented by Shulman have disappeared or been crudely converted, but the thirst for his pioneering images is stronger than ever before.
