Lead with what sets this sheet apart: it is a gridded wall section of Case Study House No. 9, the Pacific Palisades house built for John Entenza, editor of Arts & Architecture magazine. Entenza sponsored the Case Study House program, which invited leading architects to design modern, affordable homes for postwar Southern California, and this house was a collaboration between Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen. The drawing is unsigned, but it is attributed to Ray Eames on the strength of its drawing style. Its grid and annotated wall layers show how the house was assembled, and its subject list notes color in architecture, a concern of the period's modernists.
