About the book: John Lautner's most innovative residential buildings, bold, futuristic villas on the hills above L.A., on beaches and in the deserts of California, reflect the nascent space age with its unrestrained belief in progress, yet are organically integrated into the landscape. Buildings like his famous mushroom-shaped Chemosphere House made him an icon of the Mid-Century Modern or Californian Modern style. An introduction to his work.
