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Cohen discusses Lautner’s place in new design tendencies.This richly illustrated monograph includes previously unpublished sketches, drawings, construction images, and Lautner’s own photographs to unveil the evolution, originality, and logic of his designs, focusing on the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.

Between Earth and Heaven: The Architecture of John Lautner

Los Angeles Hammer Museumで開催された"Between Earth and Heaven" での展示をもとにまとめられた写真集。フランクロイドライトに習った人物としても名高い。イノベーションされた建築物でも知られているが、必見は1912年にミシガンでLutherの両親が建てた木造の家であろう。

地理学的な地形を考えながら描かれた設計のデッサンも見事である。全体的にモノクロの写真集と文章で構成されているが、地球の形状の上に暮らすさまざまな建築の偉業の設計図や写真とともに、Lautnerの新しい建築傾向の変化に敏感かつ真剣、そして豊かさに溢れている。未公開の計画、図面、施工のイメージとともに、自身の写真の進化を明らかにするため、独創性、そしてデザインの理論を含んでいる。共著であるが、Landscapeに焦点をあて、流動性のある革新的な一冊となっている。Lutherの自身の人生と建築のプロセスがまとまった一冊として、Heavenが加えられているのだろう。

3,0 su 5 stelle A book on SoCal architect, John Lautner

A former student and employee of Frank Lloyd Wright, Mr. Lautner was a Southern California pioneer in contemporary architecture. To describe his projects, the words, "dramatic" and "superbly detailed" are high on the list. Siting each home on the property was a key to their drama.

Perhaps I should add that, whilst a student at the old Chouinard Institute of Art (now famously known as CalArts), I signed up for a class (in 1968 or so) called. Architectural Appreciation, taught by Mr. Lautner. Well, to be honest, it was really about appreciating HIs architecture. But was a hugely rewarding class as we drove out to, and toured, many of his projects. Clearly, Mr. Lautner was not into duplicating his efforts from one project to the next. Each home he designed was unique in its own way taking full advantage of the views that were always abundant in the ambience and design. A home on the boardwalk on Balboa Island in Newport Beach looked out over the harbor and channel; the home in Malibu was on the beach in the Colony taking in the ocean views; a home in the Hollywood Hills (known as Silver Top) looked out over a lake and the Los Angeles skyline; a home built into the mountains above Palm Springs looks out over the Coachella Valley.

This book is well written and nicely designed with great photography. I do wish, however, it had been printed in the USA by a lithographer with the experience of producing fine art books. (There are only about three such printing companies who can do this type of work.) In the black and white photos, the shadow details occasionally plug up while the highlight details blow out. Too bad for such an important story about such an important figure in America's history of architecture. Safe to say, the original negatives and photo prints were much better than this. Alas, printing offshore does keep book prices affordable and accessible.
