"This is the first full study of Pierre Koenig's career, providing an unparalleled insight into the evolution of Modernism on the West Coast. Koenig designed and built his first exposed steel house in 1950. In 1957 he was chosen to design Case Study Houses #21 and #22. These houses have become iconic, capturing the excitement and optimism of the period. This book includes new and vintage photographs together with the architect's original drawings". A brand new, most handsome example of the 1998 hardbound first printing of this vital document devoted to the late Los Angeles architectural pioneer that is filled with vintage images by Julius Shulman and Marvin Rand.
