Case Study House #22 The Making of a Modernist Icon ISBN: 9781797209432 (HB - E) € commander liste d'envies Case Study House #22 and Julius Shulman's photos of it are iconic and recognizable to book buyers and consumers around the world. This book is a new look at the never-before-told backstory behind this famous house and the family that made it their home. Case Study House #22, also known as the Stahl House after the family who built it, is considered one of the most iconic and recognizable examples of mid-century modern architecture in the world. Designed by architect Pierre Koenig and immortalized by photographer Julius Shulman, this 1960 glass-and-steel home in the Hollywood Hills has come to embody the idealism of a generation in search of the American dream. As one of the Case Study Houses designed between 1945 and 1966 under the vision of John Entenza and ARTS & ARCHITECTURE magazine, this was an affordable yet progressive design experiment to address the postwar housing shortage.
