Seller's Description:
Used-Like New. One of the visionary architects of the twentieth century, John Lautner designed dramatically innovative buildings with a rare sensitivity to site, vista, and structure. Accompanying a full-scale exhibition on Lautner at Los Angeles's Hammer Museum, this is the first publication to comprehensively explore his work, including his apprenticeship with Frank Lloyd Wright and the cultural and geographical context of Los Angeles, through an intensive examination of the archives of the John Lautner Foundation. Although Lautner's dramatic houses are well-known, this is the first time his work has been seriously examined by scholars. Historian Nicholas Olsberg contributes an analysis of Lautner's evolution, providing social and cultural context. Architect Frank Escher covers the relationship between his experiments in structure and poetics of space, and Jean-Louis Cohen discusses Lautner's place in new design tendencies. This richly illustrated monograph includes previously unpublished sketches, drawings, construction images, and Lautner's own photographs to unveil the evolution, originality, and logic of his designs, focusing on the atmospheres and vistas they establish and the connections to landscape and sensory fluidity that mark their innovative spatial arguments. BEAUTIFUL COPY! ! ! wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector...

Seller's Description:
Lautner, John. Fine in Fine jacket. What has become a highly collectible book on the life and work of the legendary architect, John Lautner (1911-1994) who was known for his mid-century architecture that tested the boundaries of curves and reinforced concrete. Lautner was one of the few architects who studied with Frank Lloyd Wright that created their own, distinctive style, separate from Wright's influence. First Printing. 234 pp. 4to. Clean, crisp copy with dust jacket in mylar cover. Fascinating design of the book is that the front cover board has a very slightly raised embossed sketch by Lautner of one of his most iconic houses, the Chemosphere. Thin line dimple across the front board from a binding anomaly, same to rear. Does not impact the book in any way.
