Another year passed by and itโs time again to look back and see what you liked the most in 2012 on Mid Century Home.
Today I will start a week of posts dedicated to the best contentย publishedย this year starting from Mid Century Modern Architecture.
The Stahl House, Case Study House #22: Pierre Koenig
Probably the most famous -and photographed- Case Study House is theย Stahl Houseย designed byย Pierre Koenig; this project come immediately after theย Case Study House #21ย with which it has many architectural similarities indeed.
The Richard Neutra Kaufmann House
Ten years later commissioning toย Frank Lloyd Wrightย the iconic Water Falling House, Edgar Kaufmannย was looking forย an architect to design hisย new houseย near Palm Springs: later known as the Kaufmann Desert House.
Kaufmann, decided for the light style ofย Richard Neutra; more suitable for the frivolous Palm Springs than Wrightโs style.
The Case Study House #9: Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen
The Case Study House #9 designed by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen for John Entenza, has been considered -from a building point of view- as the โtwinโ of the #8; even though they fulfilled completely different needs. A contemporary journal defined them โtechnological twins but architectural oppositesโ.
Mid Century Architecture Icons Richard Neutra Lovell House
The Lovell Health House is internationally recognized as one of the most significative example ofย mid century architecture.
Richard Neutra designed the house using a technology employed to build skyscrapers that he learnt as draftsman in New York and Chicago; that made the Lovell residence theย first American house to be built using this method.
Come back in the next coming days to see all the best in the the other categories published on Mid Century Home during 2012!
