Pierre Koenig: 1925-2004: Living with Steel (Taschen Basic Genre Series) Paperback – May 1, 2007

Pierre Koenig was one of the finest architects of the mid-20th Century. His 1960 Stahl House (well illustrated here) has been seen by millions of people in movies, television and especially, television ads. It's the glass enclosed living room/pavilion with a swimming pool in the foreground and all of Los Angeles as a background. This small Taschen book, part of a rather large series, talks about his career and buildings and is well worth the purchase price of $9.99. If your're a fan of the Arts and Architecture Case Study houses, as I am, you will love this little book.

I wish that it was bigger, but it is still nice to have. Check the dimensions before buying so you know what you are getting. I have enjoyed having it, but bigger is better with this type of book.

if you want more of the history of the bauhaus type revolution in the us here it is. wright and the bauhaus are both influeneces in these mens lives.

Gives you a distinct feel not only for Koenig's signature architecture, but for the man as well. Highly recommended book.

Simplemente asombroso, un pequeño libro que nos muestra cómo la mente de un hombre se adelanto prácticamente un siglo al diseño y arquitectura contemporánea.Muy bien precio para este pequeño viaje.

Good, short and reasonably priced overview of a Southern California architect who would have been largely unknown if not for Julius Shulman's great nightime picture.
