Like the horizontal lines using stone walls and floor to ceiling glass corners interfacing with pools and gardens. The louvres and the gloriette are very common now in high end architecture. Interesting that these 2 iconic houses from 2 of the most influential architects where both commissioned by the same person!

This is my favourite house! Thank you so much for this detailed guide, John! I love the elegant simplicity of Neutra's houses, and they seem to sit lightly on the earth. Falling Waters is certainly a magnificent building, and FLW was a masterful pioneer, to be sure, but a lot of Wright's work, to me, seems heavy and too detailed, though I appreciate his absorption of the Japanese horizontal line. But I disagree with FLWright's assessment that Neutra's houses were "cheap and thin". I can see in Neutra's work a more profound and instinctive *spirit of Zen*, making them much easier to "live" in; and they are, by his own intent, more "healing".
@SuperJobbel Жыл бұрын
Interesting to read your desciption of Neutra's work. I agree that Neutra's work is more zen and more livable, and that Wright's work feels more heavier. Still I think Wright has a larger diversity in his boby of work, he has made many designs that all look very different, while Neutra's designs look very similar. Anyway both architects are billiant, so it's'always hard to choose. Personally would prefer to live in Palm Sprins but Fallingwater is more interesting.
@KerrieRedgate Жыл бұрын
Yes, I think you’re right, John. Neutra’s work was certainly “Neutra”, though I do love it. And Wright had an extensive career that opened the door to considering nature in architecture. Where Wright came from, his time as a young architect, certainly attests to his genius in breaking the old moulds. And Wright took on a lot of very large projects. But, yes, I’d rather live in a Neutra - but that’s my personal taste (I do lean more towards Japanese aesthetics)…. Plus I live in Australia, and our newer homes (since the 1970s) are very much indoor-outdoor experiences with large expanses of glass.

This is one of your best presentations! Every aspect of the house's design, layout and features are perfectly concisely given. Because the Kaufmann house is so beautifully sited and laid out to capture distant 'borrowed views,' I never knew it sat in a densely built up area. Rather like the transcendent Katsura villa in Kyoto. I'd venture to say the luxurious Kaufmann house is the representative soul of a kind of post-war ideal of California living where sound design and mass production are a bridge to nature for the benefit of everyone.

I agree that I wish we saw houses designed like this today. As an architect who loves modern design I would love to have the freedom to design like this. There are a a lot more hurdles with such design in our time. One of biggest issues today is due to energy building codes. They make it very difficult to have that much glass and meet energy saving restrictions. Also this style is incredibly unforgiving to execute. The way materials are brought together seamlessly takes a great care of craftsmanship. Also, back then nearly everything was custom built for the specific project. Nowadays it is difficult to find craftsman who will do custom windows, custom exterior finishes, etc. And even if you do it is hard to pass building code inspectors that want all the elements certified to meet energy and construction standards. Sorry to get so verbose,.

@@ronkyville Thanks for your detailed and informed explanation, nonetheless I'd challenge your statement. I've remodeled an older 70's contemporary house with large clerestory windows and an enclosed courtyard with large windows 6' x 6' plus large french doors. Heating and cooling costs have been lowered relative to prior single pane aluminum framed windows. All new thermal windows with low E glass coatings have actually lowered our energy costs. In updating the building I've added a lot of new insulation and used foil-backed thermal roof decking which has lowered heat gain and loss from the roof. I've investigated a lot of materials for new buildings that allow for lots of glass that can be built and pass building codes. On the craftsmanship issue I am in whole agreement. I had to do and supervise a lot of the work to ensure quality standards that are not evident in modern construction unless you are paying for a premium custom built structure. Obviously if you have the money it can be built.
@wendyannh11 ай бұрын
Those cookie cutter tracts are built that way for a couple of reasons - and cost is very much a huge component. First, there are indeed huge cost savings when everything can be ordered in mass quantities because it's all standardized and the same components are used in all of the houses. Second, although some may be designed by architects, many are actually "designed" (a word I use loosely here) by the builders themselves - who are *very* rarely actually trained in architecture. It's not usually the best architects designing them even when they *are* part of the process, either; the best are doing private commissions, not tract houses of any size. Finally, the close proximity is also very much about cost savings and maximizing profit by fitting as many houses as possible onto the available land. There are actually many extremely talented architects working today, whose work would take your breath away just as much as these masterpieces. The houses they design are not always visible when you drive down the street, though, because they're often tucked behind walls, tall hedges, down long driveways, on very large lots, well above or below street level, etc. - intentionally very private. Read professional magazines such as Architectural Record and others and you'll start finding them.

Another case where house and location are perfectly matched. If this house and falling water were switched, neither one would work with their environment and would not be considered the masterpieces they are today.

Yes, it does get hot in PS but it is what I prefer. I have had the pleasure of renting several Mid-Century homes there and know where I would buy if I had the means.

I’m sorry to say you have mispronounced the name Neutra. It is a German name and is always pronounced Noytra. I love him too. My son is his great grandson. I was happy to meet and visit with Diona Neutra, Richard’s wife, Dion Neutra, his son, and his grandson, Greg Neutra and I have two beautiful, wonderful children together, though we live apart. I have been inside two of his houses and as great as they are from the outside, the insides are a magical experience, hard to describe, but it is experiencing great art. Thank you for sharing this.
@SuperJobbel Жыл бұрын
Yes I realised that you pronounce the name differently shortly after I uploaded the video. I speak German and knew that you pronounce the word Neu as Noy and that it means New. However I thought that Neutra had "Americanised'' as what is common with most European people who immigrate to the US. Nice story about your family btw.

Great Video, many photos and explanations, a few corrections. Edgar J Kauffman did not established the Kauffman department store, would be interesting to add how Neutra planned the sun movements with the overhangs to allow winter sun and block the summer sun. FLLW despised the International Style however we can see that the techniques and effects both use are practically the same, in this case I believe Neutra surpasses Wright. Kauffman was a merchant and he always had business in his mind. Taking into account that the plot was less than ideal Neutra achieved the elevation with the gloriette, genius. Trully a masterpiece, in terms of living I would do the same as Kauffman and Wright himself did, summer in Bear Run and winter in Palm Springs
@SuperJobbel Жыл бұрын
Again thank you for your feedback! I'm learning a lot from you. - I thought that Edard Kaufmann was the founder of the store, but indeed he wasn't: so that's a mistake of mine. _ I was not aware that the cantileverings were designed to block summer sun and to block the winter sun. Interesting! To bad that I didn't knew that, otherwise I would included it in the video. - Yes, I knew that techniques and effects of the international style and organic archtiecture are similar. However I believe that Neutra made more minimalistic designs than Wright. I knew that Wrigh despised the international style but I excluded it from the video because otherwise the video would be to long. -I would love to live in both Bear Run and Palm Srings.

''Box Boys'' that was the phrase that John Lautner and Frank Lloyd Wright used to describe archtiects like Van Der Rohe and Neutra. Indeed Neutra the work is considered by many as clean and straight lined. Although I love the work by Neutra, I also prefer the designs by Lautner and Wright because it's so diverse: each house is different. While Neutra work is more formulaic, still its interesting: so more videos about Neutra will show up on this channel.

Ok the easiest question ever asked, at the end of the video: "Which one would you prefer to live in?" Wright's, or Neutra's? Actually, as I was enterting the architecture faculty, I've been huge fan of everything Frank L. Wright. Then I went thru my Corbusier (and Czechoslovak functionalism) era, as everyone around me. I'm 53 now, and I firmly landed at Neutra's Casa Kaufmann. Anybody else would go through a similar evolution? :)
