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. Highly experimental the program generated houses that were designed to redefine the modern home and thus had a pronounced influence on architecture—American and international—both during the program`s existence and even to this day. This compact guide includes all projects featured in our XL version with over 150 photos and plans and a map of where all houses are (or were) located. \u003cdiv class=\"margin-bottom\"\u003e   \u003cdiv class=\"margin-bottom\" id=\"series_text\" style=\"display:\" block\u003e About the Series:\u003cbr each book in taschen basic architecture series features: an introduction to the life and work of architect major works chronological order information about clients architectural preconditions as well construction problems resolutions a list all selected map indicating locations best most famous buildings approximately illustrations sketches drafts plans\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/b\u003e 96 pages\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e TASCHEN (May 1 2006)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3822846171\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 978-3822846179\u003c\/p\u003e                                                                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e    Product Dimensions:     \u003c\/b\u003e    7.3 x 0.3 x 9 inches    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.6 ounces\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Architecture","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":30464829882461,"sku":"3822846171","price":18.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/4394\/3773\/products\/51r0iGpev8L.jpg?v=1570635734","url":"https:\/\/artistsarchitects88.myshopify.com\/products\/case-study-houses-elizabeth-smith","provider":"ArtistsArchitects88","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
