Modernist architecture precedent and ideas are presenting very well at the Arts and Architecture Magazine website. This is the magazine that sponsored the Los Angeles Case Study houses and published California's post war modernist architects.
This site selects a huge amount of content from this magazine and presents it via PDF. It's a great place to while away the time. And if you have access to someone else's printers, you'll have a stack of great reading material in hand pretty quickly that could easily catalyze your genius for your next project.
