{"product_id":"john-lautner","title":"John Lautner","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith his geometric structures perched upon the hillsides, beaches, and deserts of California, John Lautner (1911–1994) was behind some of the most striking and innovative architectural designs in mid-20th-century America.This introductory book brings together the most important of Lautner’s projects to explore hishis ingenious use of modern building materials and his bold stylistic repertoire of sweeping rooflines, glass-paneled walls, and steel beams. 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","brand":"TASCHEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52209128341813,"sku":"9783836544115","price":15.0,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/4157\/3429\/files\/lautner.jpg?v=1768477485","url":"https:\/\/capbookshop.com\/ar\/products\/john-lautner","provider":"CAP BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
