88 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 26 cm

"The Schindler House in West Hollywood, California, was designed in November 1921 by architect Rudolph M. Schindler for himself, his wife, and another couple. Not only was this a radical program for its time, but when the house was completed, in June 1922, it looked completely different from any other house in the United States. But the importance of the house is greater than an issue of style: it was no less than the first modern house to be built in the world."
"In her text, author Kathryn Smith tells the story of the creation of the Schindler House and its critical reception throughout the twentieth century, and explains why it is one of the key works of modern architecture. Her essay is generously illustrated with archival photographs that document the construction of the house and portray those who lived in it, and with shots Schindler himself took during stays at Frank Lloyd Wright's Wisconsin residence, Taliesin, and on trips around the United States. Photographer Grant Mudford was specially commissioned to photograph the Schindler House for this publication; his sensitivity to Schindler's creative vision will enlighten readers each time they open this volume."--Jacket.
