Richard Neutra: 1892 - 1970: Survival through Design Hardcover – Illustrated, March 4, 2016
Purchase options and add-ons
In the architecture of Richard Neutra (1892–1970), inside and outside find their perfect modernist harmony. As the Californian sun glints off sleek building surfaces, vast glass panel walls allow panoramic views over mountains, gardens, palm trees, and pools.Neutra moved to the United States from his native Vienna in 1923 and settled in Los Angeles. He displayed his affinity with architectural settings early on with the Lovell House, set on a landscaped hill with views of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Monica Mountains. Later projects such as the Kaufmann House and Nesbitt House would continue this blend of art, landscape, and living comfort, with Neutra’s clients often receiving detailed questionnaires to define their precise needs.This richly illustrated architect introduction presents the defining projects of Neutra’s career. As crisp structures nestle amid natural wonders, we celebrate a particularly holistic brand of modernism which incorporated the ragged lines and changing colors of nature as much as the pared down geometries of the International Style.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2025Despite having a rock-solid architectural education, including architectural surveys and history, I was not well-acquainted with the work of Richard Neutra. Focusing on his ample residential design work, this modest book does a great job of reacquainting me with this extraordinarily talented architect.

When they said Used, I was delighted when the book arrived in its original shrink wrap as New. Couldn't be happier.
