It includes several previously unpublished buildings and places the powerhouse couple s architectural work alongside their widely known designs in furniture, exhibitions, and film, showing how they carried consistent design principles across different disciplines.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCharles (1907-1978) and Ray (1912-1988) Eames s residential architecture is defined by their human-centered approach to modernism. Their work demonstrates a deep commitment to structural clarity, user-centered functionality, and the intelligent use of prefabrication. Rather than focusing purely on aesthetics, the Eameses approached architecture as a form of problem-solving, aiming to create flexible systems that offered a background for life and work in all its expressions.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book presents all eight houses they designed between 1945 and 1955, featuring sketches, drawings, letters, and photographs   many of which have never been published before   alongside newly produced diagrams and models that offer further insight into their design process. The book is organized into six chapters, one of which is entirely dedicated to Case Study House No. 8 with newly commissioned photography, together with a wealth of materials from the archives of the Eames Office   many of which are published here for the first time. The book further contextualizes the couple's thinking about domestic living in related fields such as furniture, toy, textile, and graphic design, anchoring the house projects within their work at large.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book accompanies an exhibition in Milan in April 2026 that is planned to travel internationally.\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9781837293124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 18 Aug 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Phaidon Press Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: London, United Kingdom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 31.5(H)x21(L)x2.7(W)1200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): 1200\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003eEckart Maise is a board director of the Charles \u0026amp; Ray Eames Foundation, an independent design consultant, and former Chief Design Officer of Vitra.
