...Windshield project is unique because it represents one of the strongest architect-client collaborations of the modern period. Brown and Neutra exchanged over 150 letters, telegrams and memos during the duration of the project, and the Browns were often intimately involved in the smallest of decisions, from the color of a bathroom to the overhang of a roof. “My purposes in building this home in the modern style,” Brown wrote to Neutra in the fall of 1936, “are threefold: first I wish the home to be comfortable and convenient to live...
...Wright, notably Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pa., and Walter Gropius’ residence in Lincoln, Mass. are perhaps the best examples of this style. Both houses were built contemporaneously with Windshield, and the three houses use much of the same structural vocabulary, due in part to the fact that Neutra, an Austrian emigré, worked under Wright during the 1920s...
...American film industry, in all its splendors and miseries. In architecture and design, a certain amount from Frank Lloyd Wright to Frank Gehry, little of whose best work was actually done in the state; and more from such European exiles as the two Viennese Modernist architects Richard Neutra and Rudolph Schindler, who took refuge on the Pacific shore and found themselves in the company of assorted shrinks, religious prophets, musicians and writers, from Aldous Huxley and Thomas Mann to Henry Miller and Nathanael West.

...start investing in the midcentury now. For if ever one decade were in love with another, the '90s is crazy about the '50s. This is not the '50s of Happy Days or Pleasantville, where people are decent but unsophisticated. This is the sleekly glamorous decade of architects Richard Neutra, Pierre Koenig, John Lautner and Albert Frey and designers Charles and Ray Eames. This is the decade when the rest of the world looked with envy at American products, homes and life-styles. Some people consider it the golden age of American design in this century...
