"Pierre Koenig (b. 1925) is a leading, figure of the Modern Movement in America. Koenig is the architect of some of Los Angeles' most admired houses, and was a guiding influence on the 'Case Study House Program'. This monograph, the first to compile his pioneering work, provides an insight into the evolution of Modernism on the West Coast.". "This book, a complete study of Koenig's career, examines his dedicated application of specific design and structural principles; his interest in industrialization; and his belief in environmentally and socially responsible design. Photographs of Koenig's work, together with the architect's original sketches and drawings provide a comprehensive visual document of his refined and dramatic architecture."
