With his geometric structures perched upon the hillsides, beaches,
and deserts of California, John Lautner (1911-1994) was behind some
of the most striking and innovative architectural designs in
mid-20th-century America. This introductory book brings together
the most important of Lautner's projects to explore his his
ingenious use of modern building materials and his bold stylistic
repertoire of sweeping rooflines, glass-paneled walls, and steel
beams. From commercial buildings to such iconic homes as the
Chemosphere, we look at Lautner's sensitivity to a building's
surroundings and his unique capacity to integrate structures into
the Californian landscape. With several of Lautner's houses now
labeled Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments, we'll also
consider the architect's cultural legacy, as much as his pioneering
of a visual paradigm of 1950s optimism, economic growth, and
space-age adventure. About the series Born back in 1985, the Basic
Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection
ever published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Architecture series
features: an introduction to the life and work of the architect the
major works in chronological order information about the clients,
architectural preconditions as well as construction problems and
resolutions a list of all the selected works and a map indicating
the locations of the best and most famous buildings approximately
120 illustrations (photographs, sketches, drafts, and plans)
