one of the best documentaries on architecture

[@jimwhitman3678]

Thank you for putting a spot light on this great part of history. We definitely need more free thinkers in architecture and housing.

The Stahls are a testimony to grit and determination of having a dream and persevering to realization.

Great overview of this era

[@anastojanovic2552]

Great!

Great concepts that met a fork in the road. "Levittown dreck" which eventually became the norm of Arts & Architecture which appealed to a higher clientele in what we could consider mid century modern in one form or another. The post WW2 promise became todays' dreckchitecture. Let's face it, production builders put up junk that they think people want.

I think you've got it exactly backwards. Production builders (esp. after WWII) put up what they knew the buyers wanted. As much as I admire the CSHs (and am also a SoCal Boomer, raised there in that era) the homes those GIs and their brides dreamed of were not steel, glass and block boxes (which are wholly inappropriate for the climate in most American locations). When given the choice between a Levitt home in a neighborhood of crackerboxes or an Eichler home in one of his developments, the buyers spoke. If they had overrun the Eichler sales offices, more homes of that style and method would have been built.

Sadly in the USA there are millions of mcMansions😢

Too bad Rudolf M. Schindler was not invited to participate in the Case Study competition.
