Pierre Koenig

Phaidon Press, New York, New York, 1998

Description

The cover of Pierre Koenig features a vintage photograph that epitomizes the architect’s Modernist style. The panoramic nighttime view of Los Angeles through his signature glass walls reflects the leisurely life-style of which Koenig’s houses were emblematic. The cover design reflects the transparency of Koenig’s buildings, a recurring theme, as well as placing his name firmly within the now iconic image of Case Study House 22.
