Abstract

The distribution of the Schindler’s manifesto remains uncertain. This was an obligatory step in the life of a young European avant-gardist, and it probably passed from hand to hand. The interest paid to this text today is retrospective. It is an opportunity to go back over the training and early working life of an important architect who is still little-known. What conception of architecture did the young Schindler stand up for in this his first text? Would the beginning of his career follow this doctrinal commitment? How did such Viennese convictions travel to the USA?

Abstract

Two Austrian-born designers have left their indelible mark on California's residential architecture of the 1930s to 1960s: Richard Neutra (1892-1970) and Rudolph M. Schindler (1887-1953) combined modern form and inventive construction with new materials to create a truly modern vision of living that remains inspirational to the present day.00This new book features twenty famous and lesser known houses from that period, designed by the two pioneers and other architects that were influenced by Neutra's and Schindler's ideas. All are marked by highly economical use and outstanding quality of space, a minimalist aesthetic, and by their ideal adaption to climatic conditions. They are monuments of a period as well as timeless models for contemporary and future architecture.00The images by photographer David Schreyer show the buildings in their present state as a commodity of highest quality that can be, and should be, altered to meet today's changed demands to a living space. Andreas Nierhaus's texts, based on interviews, explore the relationship of the present inhabitants to their homes and what they mean to them. Together, the authors offer uniquely intimate insights into a sophisticated way of life still too little known outside California.

Abstract

The distinction between indoors and outdoors wil disappear', wrote Rudolph Schindler in 1926: 'Our house will lose its front-and-back door aspect. It will cease being a group of dens, some large ones for social effect, and a few smaller ones in which to herd the family.' Formed in Vienna in the school of Otto Wagner and Adolf Loos, Schindler went to America in 1914, and worked for Frank Lloyd Wright before settling in Hollywood in 1922. There, over the next thirty years- which included a period of partnership with Richard Neutra- he developed a personal style that responded to the hot California climate and the cool California mood. His own house in Hollywood and the Lovell House at Newport Beach, both of the 1920s, have a breath-taking sureness of touch in their interlocking shapes. This book is the first full-scale study of an architect whose buildings, with the rise of the 'New Brutalism' and Pop Art, are coming to be recognized as stimulating alternatives to the International Style.
