The quintessential California Modernist
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 him recognition as one of Modernist architecture’s
greatest talents. |
