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 è scrittrice e insegnante di storia dell’architettura, esperta di modernismo. Scrive per Dwell, The Architectural Review, Architecture, Architectural Record e Fine Homebuilding, ed è anche un’architetta specializzata in ecosostenibilità e piccoli spazi.
Le immagini dell’architettura californiana scattate dal fotografo statunitense Julius Shulman si sono impresse a fuoco nella retina del XX secolo, al punto che un libro sull’architettura modernista in cui non compaia Shulman risulta inconcepibile. Alcune delle sue fotografie, come le iconiche istantanee delle straordinarie strutture di Frank Lloyd Wright o Pierre Koenig, sono state pubblicate innumerevoli volte. Inoltre, sono stati proprio gli scatti di Shulman a mettere in luce per la prima volta la genialità degli edifici di Charles Eames o del suo caro amico Richard Neutra. La lucidità della sua opera esigeva di considerare la fotografia architettonica una forma d’arte indipendente. In ogni scatto di Shulman si fondono la percezione e la conoscenza degli edifici e del posto che occupano nel paesaggio, mentre la cura della composizione non rivela solo le idee architettoniche celate dietro le facciate degli edifici, ma anche le intuizioni e le speranze di un’intera epoca. Pur in assenza di figure umane, nella sua opera si percepisce sempre un senso di umanità. Oggi, molti degli edifici documentati da Shulman sono andati perduti o sono stati oggetto di grossolane riconversioni, ma l’interesse per le sue immagini pionieristiche è più vivo che mai.
Peter Gössel dirige un’agenzia che si occupa di design espositivo e museale. Con TASCHEN ha pubblicato monografie su Julius Shulman, R.M. Schindler, John Lautner e Richard Neutra, oltre a svariati titoli della collana Basic Architecture.
