The Case Study House program (1945â?“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 programâ?™s chief motivating force was Arts & Architecture editor John Entenza, a champion of modernism who had all the right connections to attract some of architectureâ?™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 architectureâ?”American and internationalâ?”both during the programâ?™s existence and even to this day.
