Arts & Architecture 1945-49
80The best years of our lives
How Arts and Architecture paved the way in post-war construction and culture
From the end of World War II until the mid-1960s, exciting things were happening in American architecture. Emerging talents were focusing on innovative projects that integrated at once modern design and low-cost materials. The trend was most notably embodied in the famous Case Study House Program, a blueprint for modern habitation championed by the era’s leading American journal, Arts & Architecture.
The complete facsimile of the ambitious and groundbreaking Arts & Architecture was published by TASCHEN in 2008 as a limited edition. This new curation—directed and produced by Benedikt Taschen—brings together all the covers and the highlights from the first five years of the legendary magazine, with a special focus on the Case Study House Program and its luminary pioneers including Neutra, Schindler, Saarinen, Ellwood, Lautner, Eames, and Koenig.
A celebration of the first brave years of a politically, socially and culturally engaged publication, this special selection is also a testimony to one of the most unique and influential events in the history of American architecture.

Fantastic - so where's the next volume?
27 marzo 2024
I have this volume as well as the complete reprints from 1945-1954, but most of the time I find myself referring to this volume for anything I'm looking for in the 1945-1949 period. Please, please, please - can we have a 1950-1954 volume? I'm sure some of the books of naughty pictures could wait for just a moment!18 marzo 2024

Quelle déception ! Quelle ne fût pas ma surprise en recevant le Arts & Architecture que j'avais commandé en multilingue en espérant que celui-ci m'apprendrait encore beaucoup de choses sur les CSH. Le livre reprend tous les magasines sorties durant les 5 premières années, bien-sûr en anglais, mais ne présente aucunes traduction en quelque langue que se soit.Mid Century Modern fan?
7 novembre 2021
Some of the greatest Mid Century Modern homes were created for the Case Study program. John Entenza, publisher of "Arts & Architecture" magazine, was one of the people that helped push the MCM esthetic and art to the average post-WW2 American public This Taschen book is a fantastic collection of the 1945-49 magazines. It's a great coffee table book that you can just pick up and flip to any page and learn and be inspired. The quality of printing, just like any Taschen book, is perfect.
