Love Richard Neutra’s iconic midcentury LA architecture? Check out ‘Richard Neutra: The Story of the Berlin Houses 1920–1924' the revelatory new book from @hatjecantzverlag to see where his game-changing ideas originated. Best known for his sleek yet flexible multifunction-plan Los Angeles bungalows of the 1930s through the 1960s, the renowned Austrian Modernist Richard Neutra actually began his career in Switzerland and Germany between the World Wars. Jewish and a close friend of Sigmund Freud's entire family before he emigrated to the United States in 1923, Neutra designed a small development in the Zehlendorf suburb of Berlin that is the subject of this fascinating new book. Featuring radical, bright colors and experimental features like a revolving stage in two of the homes, this work pointed very clearly to Neutra's near-future breakthroughs in California. #richardneutra #neutra #westcoastmoderism #westcoastarchitecture #berlinmodernism #berlinhouses #zehlendorf #neutrazehlendorf #neutrainberlin https://www.instagram.com/p/BwALbeyHWpj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7hhb91jtqmxp
