Can't Wait For This One

I am so excited to see Between Heaven and Earth: The Architecture of John Lautner this summer at the UCLA Hammer Museum. The exhibit will run from July 13 through October 12, 2008.
“Lautner’s dwellings took on dramatically new and varied shapes, as he moved toward the central theme of his career -- how to use architecture to sublimate the domestic, and to domesticate the sublime. As we follow him from his early work with Frank Lloyd Wright to the emergence of his own practice in the 1940s in rapidly expanding, automobile-based Los Angeles, we see how he responded to a changing society and the natural environment by developing an extraordinarily sensuous, thoughtful and innovative architecture, poised between feeling and reason, stillness and motion, vista and shelter.” -Nicholas Olsberg, curator
