The Eames Houses: Charles and Ray Eames Residential Architecture (Hardcover)

The first comprehensive overview of Charles and Ray Eames's residential architecture, presenting all eight houses they designed between 1945 and 1955, several of them previously unpublished, through sketches, drawings, letters and photographs alongside newly produced diagrams and models. Defined by a human-centered approach to modernism, their architecture shows a deep commitment to structural clarity, user-centered functionality and the intelligent use of prefabrication, approaching building as a form of problem-solving aimed at flexible systems that offered a background for life and work in all its expressions. Organized into six chapters, one dedicated entirely to Case Study House No. 8 with newly commissioned photography, the book draws on the archives of the Eames Office and places the houses alongside the couple's work in furniture, toy, textile and graphic design.
