From commercial buildings to such iconic homes as the Chemosphere, we look at Lautner’s sensitivity to a building’s surroundings and his unique capacity to integrate structures into the Californian landscape. With several of Lautner’s houses now labeled Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments, we’ll also consider the architect’s cultural legacy, as much as his pioneering of a visual paradigm of 1950s optimism, economic growth, and space-age adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaschen, 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover, 96 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 x 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40743991935056,"sku":"9783836544115","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0035\/4502\/files\/Lautner.jpg?v=1786664090","url":"https:\/\/mocastore.org\/products\/lautner","provider":"MOCA Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
