Case Study Houses
Las Case Study Houses fueron experimentos en arquitectura residencial norteamericana patrocinados por la revista de John Entenza (después de David Travers) Arts & Architecture, quienes pagaron a los mejores arquitectos del momento, incluyendo a Richard Neutra, Rafael Soriano, Craig Ellwood, Charles and Ray Eames, Pierre Koenig y Eero Saarinen, para diseñar y construir casas modelo baratas y eficientes. La iniciativa se enmarcaba en el gran crecimiento de la demanda de casas residenciales en los Estados Unidos causado por el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundia y el regreso de millones de soldados. La CSH #8 de Eames fue montada en forma manual en apenas tres días.
El programa empezó en 1945 y terminó en 1966. Las primeras seis casas fueron construidas en 1948 y atrajeron más de 350000 visitantes. Aunque no todos los 36 diseños fueron construidos, la mayoría de los que fueron construidos se realizaron en Los Ángeles; unos pocos en San Francisco Bay Area, y uno se construyó en Phoenix, Arizona. Algunos de ellos han quedado retratado en icónicas fotografías en blanco y negro del fotógrafo de arquitectura Julius Shulman.
