Video

This video describes the look and feel of the Case-Study #8 house designed in the 1940s by Ray and Charles Eames. key elements of the building are represented abstractly and literally. The screen layout is akin to the fenestration details of the building. The kaleidoscopic effect applied to the Eucalyptus trees (the type of tree found on the site of the building) is a reference a video technique the Eames' themselves created to portray their chair designs. The soundtrack, a piece called "Portofino," was recorded in 1962 by electronic musician
