Ms. Gins and her husband,
a protégé of
Marcel Duchamp,
shared a philosophy of art and life
they
called "Reversible Destiny."
One of its manifestations is this house in
East Hampton,
their first in the United States, called the
Bioscleave House.

Walter Smith Pierce
USA
1920-2013
The 45-acre Peacock Farm,
built from 1952 to 1958,
shared the subdivision
tradition
of taking its name
from the previous
identity
of the site;
peacocks really
had been
raised there.
But it was far from
traditional.
Floor plans were open,
wide expanses of glass
substituted for walls,
roofs were asymmetrical
and
only slightly sloped,
and basements were raised
higher than in most houses,
allowing in more light
and
elevating their role.
The houses,
built on wooded
and often hilly lots,
were tailored
to accommodate
the natural setting
rather than conquer it.

Alfred Anton Boeke USA
1922-2011
The Pomo Indians,
who once inhabited the
land,
were long gone the day in 1962
when Al Boeke
flew in a small plane
over the
pristine beaches,
steep bluffs,
wind-swept woods
and
sheep-grazed meadows
along the Pacific Coast
in Sonoma County,
Calif.,
about 150 miles north
of San Francisco.
What Mr. Boeke saw,
in his mind’s eye,
was a residential community
that would blend
in
with that 10-mile stretch,
with its jagged rocks,
redwoods, pines
and
Monterey cypresses.
That vision led to Sea Ranch,
a development that set a standard
for
environmental preservation.
It now has about 1,700 homes,
including one
owned by Mr. Boeke

John Bancroft UK 1928-2011
Sometimes
a single building becomes
the
focus for an architect's
endeavours and reputation.
For John Bancroft,
(...) that building
was Pimlico school.
Not only did Bancroft
design and see
this
striking landmark
of the 1960s
through to completion,
he also waged
an unremitting
and lonely
struggle
for more than a decade
to save
his cherished creation
from
destruction,
to no ultimate avail.

of

Pierre Francis Koenig USA 1925-2004

Pierre Koenig: Bailey House, Los Angeles, 1958
The Bailey House
was the 21st home in the Case Study House programme,
an initiative by Arts & Architecture magazine
to promote the best low-cost domestic design.
Hailed by the magazine
as embodying “some of the cleanest
and most immaculate thinking in [its] development”,
Koenig’s design used an exposed steel frame,
welded with precision.
As the architect said:
“Steel is only as good as its
detailing.
In order to make exposed steel acceptable in the living room
it must be so well detailed
that the joining connections are
imperceptible.”

Paul Rudolph: Bass Residence, Fort Worth,
Texas, 1976
A shifting stack of floating horizontal
planes,
this nest of overlapping volumes and
cantilevered slabs
was commissioned by Anne and Sid Bass in
1970
to accommodate their own home and a spacious
gallery
for their collection of contemporary art.
Sited on a hillside,
its four storeys are broken down into 12
different levels,
the interlocking volumes defined by white
steel frames
and porcelain-enamelled aluminium panels,
with the living areas projecting out
to take in panoramic views over the
landscape.
