Richard Neutra: Complete Worksby Barbara Lamprecht
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Originally from Vienna, Richard Neutra 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, aesthetic, science, and nature into his designs brought him to the forefront of Modernist architecture. For the first time, all of Neutra's works (nearly 300 private homes, schools, and public buildings) are gathered together in one volume, illustrated by over 1000 photographs, including those of Julius Shulman and other prominent photographers. Synopsis:This volume covers all of Richard Neutra's architectural designs, nearly 300 private homes, schools and public buildings. Acclaimed for his designs of California residences, this reference work reflects Neutra's ability to incorporate technology, aesthetic, science and nature into his designs.
