The Case Study House Program was an initiative launched in the 1940s by the magazine Arts & Architecture. It aimed to design and build affordable, modern homes in Southern California, showcasing innovative architectural ideas and materials. The program featured prominent architects, including Richard Neutra and Charles Eames, who created experimental homes that reflected contemporary living. The program resulted in 36 houses, with several becoming iconic examples of mid-century modern architecture. These homes emphasized open floor plans, large windows, and integration with nature, influencing residential design in the United States and beyond. The legacy of the program continues to inspire architects and designers today.
