Résumé:

Mid-century modern house designs from 1954, includes sketches of floor plans and photographs of interior and exterior. Includes houses by George Nakashima, Richard Neutra, Paul Rudolph, William Beckett, David Henken and others.
This book spotlights some of the more budget-conscious, lesser-known structures of the period, thus supplying a more unique perspective than similar volumes that tend to showcase the iconic residences. Eichler Alert: An Eichler home in Palo Alto by Frederick Emmons and A. Quincy Jones is profiled on three pages with cost facts, materials, 5 black and white photos, and a floor plan. Excellent vintage contemporary interior photography by Julius Shulman, Ezra Stoller, Bill Hedrick-Blessing, Joseph Molitor, Marvin Rand and others."-- from modernism101
