architechture 3s : twentieth-century houses (frank lloyd wright, fallingwater; alvar aalto, villa mairea; charles and ray eames, eames house).
fallingwater, the villa mairea, and the eames house represent the pinnacles of modern residential design. fallingwater is one of wright's most inventive houses, showing him to be an architect of immense creativity and daring. aalto drew on a deep understanding of vernacular building, classicism and modernism, and on a love of natural materials, to create the humane, rich and lyrical villa mairea. charles and ray eames' own house was assembled entirely from standardized industrial components composed with a sensitive irregularity. together, these buildings represent the responses of some of the world's most respected architects to the problems of residential design.
this edition contains an introductory essay that discusses the major themes of the three buildings,
specially produced technical drawings that reveal each building's structural virtuosity, and highly readable and well-informed text on each individual building that gives readers insights into the designs.
200+ color and b&w photographs, text in english.
