和案例研究项目中的同龄人一样，这座房子的设计不仅是为了作为一个舒适和实用的住宅，而且是为了展示如何使用模块化钢结构为一个仍在二战后复苏的社会创造低成本的住房。负责发起这个项目的人是约翰·恩滕扎，他是“艺术与建筑”杂志的编辑。其结果是一系列采用钢框架和开放式计划的简约住宅，以反映汽车时代出现的更为随意和独立的生活方式。

Like its peers in the Case Study Program, the house was designed not only to serve as a comfortable and functional residence, but to showcase how modular steel construction could be used to create low-cost housing for a society still recovering from the the Second World War. The man responsible for initiating the program was John Entenza, Editor of the magazine Arts and Architecture. The result was a series of minimalist homes that employed steel frames and open plans to reflect the more casual and independent way of life that had arisen in the automotive age.[1]

根据该计划建造的一座房屋将由Entenza自己使用。他的项目是由工业设计师CharlesEames和建筑师EeroSaarinen承担的，两人已经合作多年。Eames不仅为Entenza设计了一套房子，也为他自己的家庭设计了一套房子；这所房子，案例研究室8号，将坐落在Entenza 9号同样的1.5英亩的土地上。

One of the houses built under the program was to be used by Entenza himself. His project was taken on by industrial designer Charles Eames and architect Eero Saarinen, a pair that had already worked collaboratively for years. Eames would design a house not only for Entenza, but for his own family as well; this house, Case Study House #8, would be sited on the same 1½ acre lot as Entenza’s #9.

这两所房子共有不止一个地点。每所房子的框架都是由相同的结构元素组成的：四英寸H柱，支撑12英寸开式腹板托梁。这一结构体系使恩坦扎屋能够在最小的框架内尽可能多地围起空间。[2]房子上方的屋顶是一个简单的混凝土板，屋顶上覆盖着桦树条。只有四根钢柱暴露在房子里，其余的则隐藏在墙壁里。

The two houses shared more than a site. Each house’s frame was composed of the same structural elements: four-inch H-columns supporting twelve-inch open web joists. This structural system allowed the Entenza House to enclose as much space as possible within a minimal frame.[2] The roof above the house is a simple concrete slab, finished with birch strips covering the soffits. Only four of the steel columns are exposed within the house, while the rest are hidden within the walls.[3]

恩滕扎屋的主要特征是它宽敞的、开放式的起居室。几乎有一半的房子都给了它，目的是要创造一个多功能的公共聚会空间，可以容纳近四十人的聚会，也可以容纳六个人的聚会。一个大壁炉把房间分为一个宽敞、不间断的空间和一个更亲密的空间，为任意大小的人群提供住宿。这种招待不同数量的客人的能力是设计房子的主要驱动力，这要归功于Entenza新闻事业的特殊专业要求。

The dominant feature of the Entenza House is its vast, open-plan living room. Almost half the house is given over to it, the intention being to create a versatile public gathering space which could host either a party of almost forty people, or a gathering of only half a dozen. A large fireplace divides the room into both a wide, uninterrupted space and a more intimate one, providing accommodation for groups of either size. This ability to entertain varying numbers of guests was a primary driver behind the design of the house, thanks to the particular professional requirements of Entenza’s journalistic career.[4]

客厅，已经整整36英尺宽，使人感到更大的安装地板到天花板玻璃滑动门沿后墙的长度。整个后立面都是玻璃的，把客厅的内部空间连接到宽敞的后院露台上。从起居室里，人们可以看到太平洋被狭小的窗户和远处点缀在后院的树木所包围。

The living room, already a full 36 feet wide, was made to feel even larger by the installation of floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors along the length of the rear wall. The entire rear facade was glazed, connecting the interior space of the living room to the expansive backyard patio. From within the living room, one could see the Pacific Ocean framed by the narrow mullions of the windows and, further away, the trees dotting the backyard.

除了起居室外，恩坦扎屋还包括一间餐厅、两间卧室、两间浴室、一间厨房和一间书房。与开放通风的起居室形成鲜明对比的是，Entenza特别要求其完全关闭，没有窗户让外界分心。

Aside from the living room, the Entenza House comprises a dining room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a study. In stark contrast to the open and airy living room, the study was specifically requested by Entenza to be entirely closed, with no windows to invite distractions from the outside world.[5]

很难不把Eames和Entenza之家作比较，因为这两个人坐在这么近的地方，几乎是不可避免的。除了其共同的结构类型，两院在其应用上采取了完全不同的方法。最重要的是，Eames House是一种对结构的庆祝-钢框架在整个建筑中都是公开展示的。

It is difficult not to make comparisons between the Eames and Entenza Houses; that the two sit within such close proximity of each other makes it almost inescapable. Beyond their shared structural typology, the two houses take radically different approaches to its application. The Eames House is, above all, a celebration of structure – the steel framework was on open display throughout the entire building.

与之形成微妙对比的是，Entenza House几乎没有公开提及其结构体系。大部分框架是隐藏的，其效果是将注意力集中在空间和视图上，而不是建筑物本身。似乎萨里宁的影响是负责这种更多的建筑形式的设计，区分合作努力与埃姆斯的独立工作在他自己的家隔壁。

In subtle contrast, the Entenza House makes almost no overt reference to its structural system. Most of the framework is hidden, with the effect that attention is focused on space and views instead of the building itself. It seems likely that Saarinen’s influence was responsible for this more architectural form of design, distinguishing the collaborative effort from Eames’ independent work on his own home next door.[6]

恩滕扎在1949年完成后仅在他的案例研究之家住了五年。从那时起，它就被一系列不同的业主购买和居住，每个业主都对原来的设计进行了各自的改动。[7]虽然它的邻居Eames House已成为Eames基金会的总部，但至今Entenza楼仍然是一个私人住宅。

Entenza lived in his Case Study home for only five years after its completion in 1949. Since that time it has been purchased and inhabited by a series of different owners, each of whom has made their own alterations to the original design.[7] While its neighbor the Eames House has become the headquarters for the Eames Foundation, to this day the Entenza House remains a private residence.

Eames和Saarinen的案例研究屋9号，Entenza House本月的交互式3D平面图展示了一个简单漂亮的钢框架结构，由Charles Eames和Eero Saarinen设计。由JohnEntenza于1945年在洛杉矶发起的案例研究房屋计划，是为了向公众提供低成本和现代住房的模式。

A Virtual Look Into Eames and Saarinen's Case Study House #9, The Entenza House This month's interactive 3D floor plan shows a simple and beautiful steel frame structure designed by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen. The Case Study House Program, initiated by John Entenza in 1945 in Los Angeles, was conceived to offer to the public models of a low cost and modern housing.
