Hardcover. Condition: New. An exciting review of the history, architecture, and rescue of the Aluminaire House, a midcentury modern experimental house designed by architects A. Lawrence Kocher and Albert Frey and now moving to its new, permanent home at the Palm Springs Art Museum.The Aluminaire House was conceived and constructed by Lawrence Kocher and Albert Frey as an exhibition house for the Allied Arts and Industry and Architectural League Exhibition of 1931 at the Grand Central Palace in New York City. It was intended to display standard mass-produced building materials, donated by the manufacturers. In addition to being a display of products, it was a demonstration of their use in making a repeatable, affordable house, bringing together the ideas of mass production with high-density communities.The house is constructed of mostly aluminum and glass.
