Prototropic 0.1: Honolulu and Rio

Whether it was the spirit
of its time or perhaps
it was mostly about
collective expression
of modernity, The
CSH program did not
include any specific
consideration for
climate as a requirement
Case Study House No. 1 is driven by the need to
minimize necessary elements in the design of a
typical housing that requires insulation, barrier
for heat/cold, and mechanical systems for heating
and cooling in the summer and winter.
TCSH No.1 is a prototype for ideal built
environment in tropical setting and TCSH
program is more then just a different flavor of
the original Case Study House program, but an
impetus for further collectivization of avant-garde
ideas in architecture of housing and its practical
application towards the masses. >
