Raphael Soriano was one of the early Case Study architects working in postwar Los Angeles and a talented advocate of the new building materials and construction techniques developed at the time. Soriano was a significant member of this informal gang of architects that also included Charles and Ray Eames, Pierre Koenig, Eero Saarinen, Richard Neutra and Craig Ellwood. Though not as familiar a name now, Soriano was a major influence on his colleagues and was rediscovered by todays practitioners for his innovative use of steel and aluminum and his early interest in low-cost, prefabricated structures. This is the first monograph on Soriano, it includes detailed descriptions of thirty key Soriano buildings, and a listing of Complete Works that documents for the first time every known project in Sorianos archive. More than twenty of Soriano´s buildings have been destroyed and many others remodelled beyond recognition, this book offers the only published record of these important works.
