Arts & Architecture Journal 1946-1959 (Single Issues - Part 1).

Arts & Architecture, Los Angeles, 1946-1959.

The journal that became the comprehensive record of midcentury American architecture and that launched the Case Study House Program. 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 low-cost materials and modern design. This trend was most notably embodied in the famous Case Study House Program, which was championed by the era’s leading American journal, Arts & Architecture. Focusing not only on architecture but also design, art, music, politics, and social issues, A&A was an ambitious and groundbreaking publication, largely thanks to the inspiration of John Entenza, who ran the magazine for over two decades until David Travers became publisher in 1962. A&A was instrumental in putting American architecture—and in particular California Modernism—on the map.
