Richard Neutra and the Search for Modern Architecture
"An important contribution to the understanding of 'modernist' culture in the United States and a perceptive analysis of the achievement of a major American architect, with a European background and an international reputation."--William Jordy, Brown University "This study, part biography and part architectural analysis, is a modern masterpiece of architectural history. The prose is lucid and sometimes elegant--very much like the work of Richard Neutra which it so brilliantly examines."--Peter Gay, Yale University "An important contribution to the understanding of 'modernist' culture in the United States and a perceptive analysis of the achievement of a major American architect, with a European background and an international reputation."--William Jordy, Brown University

Form Follows Libido
How modern architecture came to embrace the urges and fears of the affective unconscious. "Eight million Americans a year cool their heels in psychiatric waiting rooms. Design can help lower this nervous overhead."—Richard Neutra, 1954 Sylvia Lavin's Form Follows Libido argues that by the 1950s, some architects felt an urge to steer the cool abstraction of high modernism away from a neutral formalism toward the production of more erotic, affective environments. Lavin turns to the architecture of Richard Neutra (1892-1970) to explore the genesis of these new mood-inducing environments. In a series of engaging essays weaving through the designs and writings of this Vienna-born, California-ba...

Richard Neutra's Miller House
In 1937, the architect and his sophisticated client produced a masterwork of forward-thinking and artful architecture."
Neutra. Complete works. Ediz. inglese, francese e tedesca
Der ursprünglich aus Wien stammende Richard Neutra (1892-1970) ging am Beginn seiner Karriere nach Amerika und ließ sich in Kalifornien nieder. Sein Einfluss auf die Architektur der Nachkriegszeit ist unbestreitbar. Der kühle, elegante Stil passte gut zum sonnigen Klima und der üppigen Landschaft seiner Wahlheimat. Neutra hatte einen ausgeprägten Sinn für die Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Natur. Seine charakteristischen Glaswände und Decken, die sich in tiefen Überhängen fortsetzen, schaffen eine Verbindung zwischen Innen und Außen. Neutras Talent zur Verschmelzung von Technologie, Ästhetik, Wissenschaft und Natur machte ihn zu einem führenden Vertreter der modernistischen Architektur.In diesem Band werden alle Werke von Richard Neutra (beinahe 300 Privathäuser, Schulen und öffentliche Gebäude) mit über 1000 Fotografien vorgestellt, darunter Aufnahmen von Julius Shulman und anderen bekannten Fotografen.

Richard Neutra, 1892-1970
The quintessential California Modernist "The continual refinement of human knowledge of the body and soul came to be one and the same thing for me, and the architecture of human living space its most necessary application and valuation." Richard Neutra 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 connecti...
