Jim Mann Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 "...Arriving in Southern California I found a similar inspiration in the new architecture of the Case Study House Program, and the work of Charles and Ray Eames, Craig Ellwood and Pierre Koenig. Koenig's architecture especially left an indelible impression." Norman Foster Pierre Koenig passed away last week, to say that he was a pioneer of steel framed housing would be something of an understatement. You may already be familiar with his iconic houses as they often appeared in movies but his architecture is definitely worth a closer look than Hollywood allows. http://www.usc.edu/dept/architecture/slide/koenig/ Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Nice tribute, Jim. I think most 'contemporary' architecture probably owes quite a lot to his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
