Neutra. Complete works
All of Richard Neutra's works gathered together in one volume
Originally from Vienna, Richard Neutra came to America early in his career, settling in California. His influence on post-war 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. Neutra's ability to incorporate technology, aesthetic, science, and nature into his designs brought him to the forefront of Modernist architecture.
For the first time, all of Neutra's works (nearly 300 private homes, schools, and public buildings) are gathered together in one volume, illustrated by over 1000 photographs, including those of Julius Shulman and other prominent photographers.

"At Urban Center Books in Manhattan, the reigning heavyweight is 'Richard Neutra: Complete works,' about the Southern California modernist. It's a 12-pounder, with covers veneered in blond wood, and 464 pages about the size of doormats. And the architect didn't even dictate this monumental tribute to himself (he died in 1970)."
