Olaf it wasn't a case study house but it went to Paris in 1937 for International Architecture Exhibition and helped Soriano to win the Prix de Rome.
Raphael Soriano is also closer to home for me since he left Rhodes Island at an earlier age and came to America where he managed to study architecture. At the last stage of his life, he was given refuge by Cal Poly Pomona. He left a lot of his drawings to their archives. He was a very flamboyant person. He also designed Julius Shulman's house now restored ( I have some beautiful stories about that directly from Julius but not now.) He had a somewhat influence on Frank Gehry to become an architect when Gehry's ceramics teacher at USC Glen Lukens took him to the construction site of his house designed by Soriano who was there working along with the workers. Gehry was impressed and inspired by RS to study architecture that day. Soriano was close to Schindler and Neutra for he worked in their offices, specially Neutra's VDL House studio along with Gregory Ain and other talented young architects. Here are lectures Soriano gave at SCI Arc back in 1977. Obviously, I was very fond of Soriano and inspired by him as well, while studying architecture, freshly transplanted to LA from a place not too far from Rhodes.

Don't know...Pretty persnickety bunch running the place, they won’t let you pee….this is the only one I saw…the Brick House was closed, seems they close in the winter and when they came back last spring they opened it up to find a scene from Doctor Zhivago only it was the mold version from a roof leak that went on all winter. Nothing in the Studio, suppose Phil just peed on the building outside, which was exactly what I was thinking when I got to that part of the 3 hour tour.

Olaf - Correct, was 1949.
Marc…funny thing about those preservationist is you were warned repeatedly never to touch anything, I was surprised they let us walk on the brick floors…have a bad hip and was admonished when I tried to sit and rest on a stone wall…the same preservationist that are horrified if someone attempts to touch the Fortuny Fabric walls in the Brick House…yet didn’t seem bothered at all by the fact that they destroyed it.

Just wanted to add, if you don’t mind the digression…I think Philip turned the estate over to the wrong people…they treat it like a fragile archeological dig, when what it is, is the story of an American architect…his playful experimentation…if it were possible, this and other sites should be turned over to The AIA Trust as a place to teach about architecture…the life and times of architects, the history of architecture….more than the preservation of artifacts….might just be New Canaan Docent DNA because I didn’t get that same feel at Fallingwater.
