Ellen Browning Scripps Luncheon
Featured Guest Speaker: Barbara Goldstein The Case Study House Program: Then and Now The Case Study House program, created by John Entenza, editor and publisher of Arts & Architecture magazine, was an experiment that came at the right time in the right place. The materials shortages of World War II were ending, the GI Bill helped veterans purchase new homes, and the population of California was growing. The program promoted the American Dream of home ownership while offering a vision of modern architecture and living. In this lecture, Barbara Goldstein, publisher and editor from 1980 to 1985, of the briefly revived Arts & Architecture, will discuss the program, her friendship with Esther McCoy who wrote extensively about the houses, and the relevance of the Case Study houses today. Access to MCASD's galleries following the lecture included with ticket purchase.
