brilliance of buildings like those by charles eames as well as those of his close friend richard neutra was first brought to light by shulman s photography the clarity of his work demanded that architectural photography had to be considered as an independent art form each shulman image unites perception and understanding for the buildings and their place in the landscape the precise compositions reveal not just the architectural ideas behind a building s surface but also the visions and hopes of an entire age a sense of humanity is always present in his work even when the human figure is absent from the actual photographs today a great many of the buildings documented by shulman have disappeared or been crudely converted but the thirst for his pioneering images is stronger

visionary real estate developer not an architect who utilized highly respected and progressive architectural firms to create well designed yet affordable modern homes for the masses joseph eichler s interest in architecture was heightened after moving his family from new york to california in the early 1940s settling into a usonian house designed by noted architect frank lloyd wright joe eichler s experience living in this modernist house inspired him to find a way to bring the unique design elements of a modern architectural home to the general public joseph eichler founded eichler homes inc in 1949 and pursued his vision of creating modern homes with architecturally distinct elements for the average family and average income to help materialize his vision eichler enlisted the help of distinguished architects and architectural firms such as jones emmons anshen and allen claude oakland and raphael soriano who would help design homes and neighborhoods which were reflective of the contemporary and progressive design found in the frank lloyd wright designed home where joseph eichler had once lived between 1950 1974 eichler built more than 11 000 modernist homes virtually all of these homes were built by joseph eichler in northern california most of the n california joseph eichler homes are located throughout the san francisco bay area including eichlers in marin primarily

are located in orange county thousand oaks and granada hills in addition to eichler developments throughout california he also built a small number of eichler houses in new york less than 1 hour north of manhattan eichler built homes shared similar design elements including open floor plans walls of glass which helped blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living and in floor radiant heating

place called the pigstand in san antonio texas the sunbelt s pigstand first built on the dallas ft worth road in texas in 1921 is often considered one of the first followed by a series of other drive ins throughout the south and into california by 1931 the pig stands in los angeles and elsewhere as well as carpenter s sandwiches and other drive in chains had adopted an octagonal form for their one story buildings which were set in the center of empty corner lots the configuration allowed more cars to park close to the bulding making service easier and attracting more customers the exploding number of drive ins showed that they had struck a chord with the car mobile lifestyles of americans appearances in movies and gossip column items about stars frequenting the pig stand or carpenter s
