Description
Born and raised in Vienna, Richard Neutra (1872-1970) came to America early in his career, settling in California. His influence on post-war architecture is undisputed, the sunny climate and rich landscape being particularly suited to his cool, sleek modern style. Neutra had a keen appreciation for the relationship between people and nature; his trademark plate glass walls and ceilings which turn into deep overhangs have the effect of connecting the indoors with the outdoors. Neutra's ability to incorporate technology, aesthetics, science, and nature into his designs give him recognition as one of Modernist architectures greatest talents.
An introductory essay explores the architect's life and work, touching on family and background as well as collaborations with other architects. The body text presents Neutra's most important works in chronological order, with descriptions of client and/or architect wishes, construction problems (why some projects were never executed), and resolutions. The appendix includes a list of complete works, biography, bibliography and a map indicating the locations of the architects most famous buildings.
Contains approximately 120 images, including photographs, sketches, drawings, and floor plans.
