Stone-Fisher Platform Houses

Stone-Fisher Platform Houses

Because of poor construction techniques, Dion Neutra disavowed the Stone-Fisher Platform Houses on behalf of the office. Thirty years later, in 1994, the Northridge earthquake revealed the hazards of these structural faults when three houses became unmoored from their foundations and tumbled down the hillside.
