Person
Richard Neutra, the highly influential modernist architect, remains a legendary figure in the history of architecture. Born in fin-de-siècle Vienna, Neutra would come to the United States in the 1923 and develop his nature-near biorealist approach to architecture in California, but with commissions all over the globe. His cycle of 47 essays for Survival Through Design, his most important book, was composed during his most productive period. Barbara Lamprecht (Introduction), Raymond Neutra (Foreword)
