Der gebürtige Wiener Rudolph Michael Schindler (1887–1953) wanderte 1914 nach Chicago aus – wie einige Jahre später sein lebenslanger Freund und Konkurrent Richard Neutra. Als Frank Lloyd Wright ihn schließlich einstellte, um in Los Angeles für ihn zu arbeiten, verband er Anregungen des Kubismus und des International Style zu einer einzigartigen Vision: zu einem Stil, den er „Raumarchitektur“ nannte. In ihm kombinierte er geometrische Formen, kühne Linien und Materialien wie Holz und Beton. Und er behandelte den Raum als eigenständiges Medium nicht anders als Farbe oder Masse.
Mit diesem radikalen Ansatz erntete Schindler zu Lebzeiten wenig Anerkennung, doch heute wird er als einer der wichtigsten Pioniere der amerikanischen Moderne gepriesen. Entdecken Sie Schlüsselwerke wie das Wolfe-Haus an einem steilen Abhang, das baumhausähnliche Falk-Apartmenthaus, das Lovell-Strandhaus, das als eines der Musterbeispiele der Moderne in Amerika gilt, sowie das Schindler/Chace-Haus, sein wichtigstes Werk und zugleich sein eigenes Büro und Zuhause, das er mit seiner Familie wie der von Neutra teilte.
Von privaten Wohnhäusern bis zu kleinen Gewerbebauten leiteten Schindlers bahnbrechende Entwürfe eine neue Ära des zeitgenössischen Bauens ein. Das Buch enthält zur Vervollständigung eine Karte, in der die Standorte seiner bekanntesten Projekte eingezeichnet sind, sowie detaillierte Beschreibungen, Grundrisse und prägnante Fotos jedes Gebäudes und seiner Innenarchitektur.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Hailing from Vienna, Rudolph Michael Schindler (1887-1953) emigrated to Chicago in 1914, like his lifelong friend and rival Richard Neutra. Eventually hired by Frank Lloyd Wright to work in Los Angeles, Schindler took cues from notions found in Cubism and the International Style to shape his unique vision: a style he called "space architecture," combining geometrical shapes, bold lines, and materials such as wood and concrete, with space as a medium in its own right, one to be controlled just like color or mass. This radical approach earned Schindler little recognition in his lifetime-but today, he is hailed as one of America's most important Modernist pioneers. Discover such key projects as the Wolfe House, nestled in a steep hillside; the tree house-like Falk Apartment Building; the Lovell Beach House, recognized as one of the foremost examples of the Modernist canon in America; the Schindler/Chace House, Schindler's most crucial work and his personal practice and home, which he shared with his family and that of Neutra. From private homes to small commercial buildings, Schindler's groundbreaking designs heralded a new era of contemporary construction. This collection is complete with a map locating all of the architect's most renowned projects, detailed entries, floor plans, as well as crisp photography of each structure and its interiors. Meet Rudolph Michael Schindler, the Austrian-born architect who combined Cubism, the International Style, and Californian Modernism into "space architecture." Unnoticed for decades, his structures are today hailed as landmarks of the Modernist movement. This collection presents Schindler's most important projects through crisp photography, floor plans, texts, and maps.
