Case study apartments # 2. El último de los case study projects

Abstract

Case Study Apartments # 2: The last of the Case Study Projects, is actually the last project proposed within the Case Study Hause program. Is a set of low-rise multifamily housing by Killingsworth, Brady & Asociates developed in 1964 to be placed in California, but it was no built, so this study focuses on a theoretical construction based on the work of Edward Killingsworth, Julius Brady and Waugh Smith, deepening the analysis of the Case Study House # 25 by their similarity of design and resolution of the object study.

The Case Study # 25 has a global configuration equivalent to the Case Study Apartments 2 in distribution, relationship of spaces, closing facades, global image and structure, so its choice as a reference was successful, but however insufficient, so a global visual analysis of the author's work is exposed in a graphic catalog in order to obtaining data and conclusions necessary for successful complementation and reconstruction of CSA 2.

The global conclusion is that the totality of the set derived from the CSH # 25 of 1962, that the two-storey house from Opdahl House of 1957, and the Spaulding House of 1965 (post-CSA # 2) of the one-story homes.

The best conclusion is the words of Julius Shulman about the work of Edward Killingsworth, " His homes are the best and the most elegant of anyone’s ".
