Summary
Summary
Richard Neutra's work, his life experience, and his search for modern architecture coincided neatly with the lifespan of the modern movement. This book includes his experiences through the buoyant struggles of the movement's early years, the heady excesses of mid-century ascendancy, and the strains of its slow demise.
