California modernism and the Eichler homes
This paper describes how the Eichlers were one of a very few examples of Modern Movement architecture in the American commercial housing market, and probably the most successful. There were many efforts particularly by architects, during the postwar period, to open up the merchant builder industry to architectural design, but after prying open a narrow slice of the market for a few years the developers took over once again, and the Eichlers were sealed in time, leaving us with a tantalising image of Modern Architecture's potential to improve the quality of everyday life.
