Descripción
Mid-century California wasn't just a place, it was a mecca for ambitious architects who envisioned new ways of living. Four devotees—two Austrians, one Swiss, and a Midwesterner of Irish-Austrian descent—journeyed to California's sun-drenched climes, inspired by the raw beauty of the landscape and attracted by clients with deeper pockets and broader horizons, in every sense. This book celebrates their transformational work.
Richard Neutra designed homes where glass walls dissolved boundaries between interior and exterior, combining lyrical modernism with total meticulousness—he was known for asking his clients to fill out detailed questionnaires. R. M. Schindler, his lifelong friend and rival, extolled an expressive style he called ''space architecture,'' using warm materials, complex shapes, and striking colors.
Albert Frey saw the Californian landscape as a blank canvas for his ''desert modernism,'' crafting sleek, elemental structures sympathetic to Palm Springs' rocky terrain. Committed iconoclast John Lautner eagerly tackled difficult sites, upon which he conjured multilevel living spaces, using pioneering materials and panoramic expanses of plate glass. Meanwhile, the Case Study House program sought to democratize modernism—inviting talents like Craig Ellwood, Charles and Ray Eames, and Pierre Koenig to create elegant, efficient, replicable homes to meet the urgent needs of a postwar world.
This collection celebrates the achievements and influence of these important pioneers who saw a future where innovation harmonized with nature and who made California a blueprint for modern living.
