A mild climate and the money and creativity of Hollywood here pushed every style a little further than anywhere else. The houses of the Case Study Program are a great example for the use of lightweight materials and a new view on the interaction between inside and outside. The classic Southern California farm home was and still is subject to countless remodels by young architects. Steep hillsides inspired the architects to create structures with spectacular views, and corrugated steel facades to make them more fire resistant. Today abandoned office buildings and loft warehouses been converted to apartments not only downtown. Photovoltaic solar panels start to show up, everything goes green and more energy self sufficient.
