When Minimalism Gets Extravagant: A Virtual Look at the Case Study House 17(2)

Robynn Weldon & Pascal Babey — Sat, 23 Jun 2018 09:30:00 +0000

Arts & Architecture’s Case Study House program was supposed to be about creating replicable, affordable designs for post-war living—stylish but modest homes for young families on a budget. And then came house #17(2).

A Virtual Look Into J R Davidson's Case Study House #11

Robynn Weldon — Mon, 30 Apr 2018 09:30:00 +0000

The editorial notes on Arts & Architecture’s 11th Case Study House set out the “basic principles of modern architecture”: an emphasis on “order, fitness and simplicity.” Livability and practicality are key, and “sham” is frowned on. As with other houses in the series, this design by JR Davidson adheres to these goals with clean, horizontal lines, an open floor plan, and integration of the outdoor space.

A Virtual Look Inside Case Study House #10 by Kemper Nomland & Kemper Nomland Jr

Robynn Weldon — Tue, 06 Feb 2018 09:30:00 +0000

The tenth Case Study House wasn’t actually intended for the Arts & Architecture programme. It was added on its completion in 1947, to fill out the roster, as many houses remained unbuilt. Clearly, the Nomland design earned its place on the list, having many features in common with other Case Study homes and, most importantly, meeting the stated aims of economy, simplicity, new materials and techniques, and indoor/outdoor integration. The different departure point, however, can be seen in the layout. Whereas Case Study homes were designed primarily for families, this plan is for “a family of adults”—which is to say, a childless couple.

Explore Oscar Niemeyer's Unbuilt House in Israel with This 3D Model

Robynn Weldon — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 09:30:00 +0000

The name Niemeyer stands for one thing above all: curves. Whether undulating lines, soaring domes, or swooping pillars that repeat in perfect rhythm, his designs reject “the straight line, hard and inflexible, created by man” in favor of “the curved Universe of Einstein,” as he wrote in his 2000 memoir The Curves of Time. Indeed, a late interview with him was headlined “the architect who eradicated the straight line.”

The seventh house in the Arts & Architecture Case Study program was built with real clients in mind: a family of three with creative hobbies. The result, designed by Thornton M Abell, is a flexible home with a distinctive functional character.

The hit Netflix series Stranger Things returned for Season 2 last week (just in time for Halloween!), and, of course, immediately took the internet by storm.

A Virtual Look Inside Case Study House #4, Ralph Rapson’s "Greenbelt House"

Robynn Weldon — Thu, 28 Sep 2017 09:30:00 +0000

The fourth house in Arts & Architecture’s Case Study program departed from the trend with a noticeably more introverted design. Intended for a modestly sized urban lot, rather than the dramatic and expansive canyon or forest locations of so many other Case Study homes, it couldn’t borrow drama from the landscape, nor would the residents welcome curious glances from their close neighbors—so the house looks entirely inward.

Explore Iron Man's Futuristic Malibu Mansion With This 3D Model

Robynn Weldon — Fri, 01 Sep 2017 09:30:00 +0000

Only three of the Arts & Architecture Case Study Houses were built outside Los Angeles, and those three formed a united concept. The Triad Houses in La Jolla, a seaside suburb of San Diego, share a single driveway, motor court, and design vocabulary, while being created to meet different needs.

A Virtual Look Inside the Case Study House #3 by William W Wurster & Theodore Bernardi

Robynn Weldon — Wed, 19 Jul 2017 09:30:00 +0000

The third Arts & Architecture Case Study House has a noticeably different sensibility to that of many of the other designs in the series. While equally engaged with the goal of maximizing enjoyment of the natural surroundings, in this design the architects show more concern for privacy and protection.

Explore Frank Lloyd Wright's Curvaceous Unbuilt House Design for Marilyn Monroe

Robynn Weldon — Fri, 16 Jun 2017 08:30:00 +0000

Some unbuilt designs—the hopes they reveal and the reasons they stayed unbuilt—tell a powerful story. So it is with the home Frank Lloyd Wright designed for Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller. Or perhaps it’s what we think we know about Marilyn that makes it so poignant?

Tour Frank Lloyd Wright's Final (Unbuilt) House Design With this 3D Model

Robynn Weldon — Thu, 08 Jun 2017 06:00:00 +0000

The last house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright was never built, with its plans being delivered to the client just days after Wright’s funeral. But the realization of his vision is tantalizingly possible, as those plans, and the parcel of land it was designed for, are still held by the same family—and are for sale, along with the adjoining plot and an existing Wright house.

A Virtual Look Into Richard Neutra's Case Study House #20, the Bailey House

Robynn Weldon — Wed, 10 May 2017 09:30:00 +0000

The Bailey house—one of Richard Neutra’s four Case Study designs for Arts & Architecture—forms one of five Bluff houses, standing high above the ocean. The brief was to create a low-budget home for a young family, with just two bedrooms, but offering the possibility of expansion as time went by (which did in fact transpire; additional Neutra-designed wings were later built).

Be a Voyeur in Christian Grey’s Revamped “50 Shades” Penthouse With This 3D Model

Ren Ovung, Archilogic — Thu, 04 May 2017 09:30:00 +0000

The interplay of tantalizing eroticism continues within Christian Grey’s luxury tower in the recently-released film sequel, Fifty Shades Darker. In the first film, Grey’s plush apartment played an integral role in undressing the personas of Anastasia Steele, who liberates herself from her chaste existence, and Christian, who exposes the seething and fiery carnal desires and fetishism behind his glorified masculine beauty, charm, and appearance.

Take a Virtual "Fly-Through" of the Star Wars Millennium Falcon With This 3D Model

AD Editorial Team — Sun, 12 Mar 2017 09:30:00 +0000

The Star Wars universe contains some impressive buildings. However, in the original trilogy, it's actually the Millennium Falcon, Han Solo's non-descript yet highly tuned ship, that provides the most important architectural setting for the story's events, acting as the de facto base for our heroes' scheming. While it's certainly not the largest or most complex floor plan in the universe, the interior of the Millennium Falcon is intriguing for the way it resolves the ship's circular shape.

A Virtual Look Inside the Case study house #12 by Whitney R Smith

Robynn Weldon — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 09:30:00 +0000

In designing his (unbuilt) house for the Arts & Architecture Case Study program, Whitney Smith, like Richard Neutra, prioritized the connection to outdoor space. His motivation, however, was more specific than a desire to extend the living area of a small house. Rather, he wanted to create a highly personal space, geared to the passion of his hypothetical client. Seeing conventional plans as a straitjacket for residents who craved appropriate working space within their home (be it a sewing studio or a photography darkroom), he aspired to fit this house to the needs of a keen horticulturist.

A Virtual Look Into Richard Neutra's Unbuilt Case Study House #13, The Alpha House

Robynn Weldon — Wed, 30 Nov 2016 09:30:00 +0000

Of the four homes designed by Richard Neutra for the Case Study Houses program, post-war thought experiments commissioned by Arts & Architecture, only one was ever realized. In the imaginary village of the program's many unbuilt homes, next to #6, the Omega house, stands #13, named Alpha. Archilogic’s 3D model gives us a unique chance to experience this innovative concept home.
