Omschrijving
John Lautner might have been known as one of the greatest modern architects, but the towering presence of Frank Lloyd Wright, his contemporary in California, overshadowed him. Decades ahead of their time, Lautner’s radical designs for private houses were known only to a few. Lautner’s clear strengths as a designer - bold forms, organic details, technological innovations - are uncovered here in biography, analysis and interviews tracing the entire span of Lautner’s career from the 1940s to the 1990s. New photographs of 25 important designs reveal Lautner’s multifaceted houses, particularly his innovative use of modern structural systems - steel, cantilevers, wood bents and concrete. Lautner’s residential work has been a huge influence on a generation of young architects who have re-discovered him, and his ever-changing forms are a testament to his daring exploration of modernism and his astonishing originality. This book focuses on the key buildings, capturing the breathtaking interiors and extraordinary vistas that characterize his work, and showing the range, quality and evolution of his ideas.
