We know that the Eames House living room has traveled to LACMA for a vacation, but what's going on on the other end of things, over at the house in Pacific Palisades? The LA Times reports that the Eames Foundation is launching the 250 Year Project, and with the help of architecture firm Escher GuneWardena, the Getty Conservation Institute, and Griswold Conservation Associates will make sure the 62 year old house makes it another 250 (without erasing any of the original design). The house has been relatively untouched since co-designer (and occupant) Ray Eames died in 1988; the work will restore it to and preserve it in that late-eighties state. [LAT]
