Dion Neutra, Raymond Richard Neutra, Barbara Lamprecht, Thomas Hines,

A journey through the life and work of the Austrian American architect Richard Neutra (1892–1970), from his beginnings in Vienna through his most important works, including the Luckenwalde Forest Cemetery, his first built “house” design in Berlin, and his work with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin before relocating to southern California, where he lived and worked communally at Rudolf Schindler’s Kings Road House. In 1929 Neutra completed the Lovell Health House, recognized as a masterwork of Modernist design, and his more than 350 projects around the world—homes, schools, libraries—are distinguished by his conceptual and practical glass, steel, and wood designs, with a vision of environment, ecology, and livability.
