| dc.description.abstract | Case Study Houses, is an architecture project sponsored by the Arts and Architecture magazine, which, with renowned architects of the time, designed low cost and time constructed homes. Due to the fact that not all the houses were built, there is interest to take two houses to the project level, based on the existing information (plans, hand-drawn perspectives and models), in such a way that they allow us to have complete information about the architectural values of each house.
The first house selected is CSH # 8. Also called the Eames house, a very well known house which has a previous version, the Bridge House 1945, because Eames House was built, most of the criteria of this project will be used to recreate the one that was not made.
The second house is CSH # 24 by Archibald Quincy Jones and Frederick E. Emmons. Two very well known architects in Los Angeles area, characterized by their innovative modern designs and by being pioneers in the use of green designs, with several projects in their professional lives, certain homes will be selected to extract necessary information for the reconstruction of CSH # 24. | |
