1-3. Recently released house designs by Bestor Architecture, Walker Workshop, and Montalba Architects. 4. Architects from the new Case Study: Adapt initiative, founded by Leo Seigal and Dustin Bramell, gather at the Eames House-an icon of the original Case Study program that survived the Palisades Fire.
The results, concentrated in Los Angeles, include some of the most iconic homes of the 20th century, among them the Eames House and Stahl House. Reviving and expanding that mission today is Case Study Adapt (CSA), an ambitious initiative launched by Leo Seigal and Dustin Bramell to rebuild in the wake of the city's devastating fires.
