Originally from Vienna, Richard Neutra came to America early in his career, settling in California. His influence on postwar 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. His ability to incorporate technology, aesthetics, science, and nature into his designs brought him to the forefront of Modernist architecture.
In this volume, all of Neutra’s works (nearly 300 private homes, schools, and public buildings) are gathered together, illustrated by over 1,000 photographs, including those of Julius Shulman and other prominent photographers.

Barbara Lamprecht es escritora y docente de historia de la arquitectura, con especial interés en el modernismo, y arquitecta especializada en sostenibilidad y espacios reducidos. Colabora regularmente con Dwell, The Architectural Review, Architecture, Architectural Record y Fine Homebuilding.
Las imágenes de arquitectura californiana del fotógrafo norteamericano Julius Shulman han quedado grabadas en la retina del siglo XX. Un libro de arquitectura moderna es inconcebible sin Shulman. Algunas de sus fotografías arquitectónicas, como las icónicas tomas sobre las extraordinarias estructuras de Frank Lloyd Wright o Pierre Koenig, han sido publicadas incontables veces. La brillantez de edificios como aquellos de Charles Eames, así como de aquellos de su gran amigo Richard Neutra, salió a la luz por primera vez en las fotografías de Shulman. La lucidez de su obra exigió que la fotografía arquitectónica fuera considerada una forma independiente de arte. Cada imagen de Shulman une percepción y comprensión de las construcciones y de su lugar en el paisaje. Las precisas composiciones revelan no sólo las ideas arquitectónicas que hay detrás de la cubierta de un edificio, sino también las visiones y aspiraciones de toda una época. En su obra siempre está presente un sentido de humanidad, aún cuando la figura humana está ausente en las fotografías en sí. Hoy muchas de las construcciones documentadas por Shulman han desaparecido o sido modificadas groseramente, pero la sed por sus imágenes pioneras es más fuerte que nunca.
Peter Gössel dirige una agencia de diseño para museos y exposiciones. Con TASCHEN ha publicado monografías sobre Julius Shulman, R. M. Schindler, John Lautner y Richard Neutra, así como varios títulos en la serie Basic Architecture.
