Facts and practical information

The Aluminaire House was designed as a case study by architects A. Lawrence Kocher and Albert Frey in April, 1931. The three-story house, made of donated materials and built in ten days, was the first all-metal house in the United States. It was shown in the Grand Central Palace exhibition hall on Lexington Avenue in New York City as part of the Architectural and Allied Arts Exhibition. In 1932 the house was exhibited again, this time at the Architectural League of New York show sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art. The MOMA show was titled The International Style - Architecture Since 1922, which became the basis of a book by Philip Johnson and Henry Russell Hitchcock, The International Style, a manifesto for the International Style of architecture.
