Arts & Architecture 1950-1954 -- Taschen

<p>From the end of World War II until the mid-1960s, exciting things were happening in American architecture. Emerging talents were focusing on innovative projects that integrated at once modern design and low-cost materials. The trend was most notably embodied in the famous <strong>Case Study House Program</strong>, a blueprint for modern habitation championed by the era's leading American journal, <em>Arts & Architecture</em>.<br /><br /> The complete facsimile of the ambitious and groundbreaking Arts & Architecture was published by TASCHEN in 2008 as a limited edition. This new curation--directed and produced by Benedikt Taschen--<strong>brings together the magazine's highlights from 1950 to 1954</strong>, with a special focus on mid-century American architecture and its luminary pioneers including Richard Neutra, Eero Saarinen, and Charles & Ray Eames.<br /><br /> A celebration of a politically, socially and culturally engaged publication, this special selection is also a testimony to one of the most unique and influential eras in the history of American architecture.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Taschen<br><b>Publisher:</b> Taschen<br><b>Published:</b> 12/07/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 696<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 8.00lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 12.90h x 10.30w x 1.80d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9783754400500<p></p>
