Dear friends, for the next three weeks OfHouses will publish seven extraordinary houses captured on camera between 1970-1979 by the genius photographer Julius Shulman. Julius Shulman, 1910-2009, was the greatest architectural photographer in the 20th century. Shulman's prolific career (spanning from 1936 until 1986) has helped to promote and broaden the knowledge of modern architecture by the thoughtful manner which he conveyed architectural design. He was best known for documenting the Case Study House Program. The Program was initiated by John Entenza in 1945 and sponsored by the ‘Arts and Architecture’ magazine. Shulman’s photographs practically confounds with the peak of American Mid-century Modernism (MCM) - an architectural, interior, product and graphic design that describes mid-20th century developments in modern design, architecture and urban development from roughly 1933 to 1965. Shulman remained in business full time until the late 1980s, when architectural tastes had shifted to postmodernism, a style that Shulman regarded with disdain, arguing that its practitioners were interested only in facades, not living spaces. In this selection by OfHouses, we look at works by those architects who committed exclusively to Shulman for shooting their designs (Kappe, Lautner, Crites, Zabludovsky), but also at the more extravagant projects photographed by Shulman for the design supplement of the ‘Los Angeles Times’ (such as the ones by Agustín Hernández or Zomeworks’ Steve Bauer). This is the seventh episode of an extensive series that we are featuring throughout this year, titled “7 Houses from the 70′s”.
