Biography
Richard Neutra was born in Vienna and studied there with Adolf
Loos from 1912 to 1914. He graduated from the Technical University
in Vienna in 1917. In 1919, after fighting in World War I, he went
to Berlin, where he worked with modernist architect Erich
Mendelsohn. He emigrated to the United States in 1923, working for
Frank Lloyd Wright for a short time near Chicago.
Neutra moved to Los Angeles in 1925 and worked with Rudolf
Schindler, whom he had met while still at university in Austria. In
1926 he opened his own practice in Los Angeles with his wife,
Dione. From 1949 to 1958, he partnered with Robert Alexander, a
protégé. From 1965 until his death, he worked with
his son Dion. He wrote a number of books, including Survival
through Design (1954), World and Dwelling (trans.
1962), Life and Shape (1962), and Building with
Nature (1971).
Neutra was influential in the development of the California Modern
style. Responding to the climate in Southern California, he
specialized in blending indoor and outdoor spaces, often through an
extensive use of glass, opening his buildings directly to their
surrounding environments.
At a time when most architects were more concerned with their own
vision for a project than the client’s need, Neutra was known
for his attention to his clients’ wishes. The architect was
committed to melding comfort, the natural environment, and beauty
in his designs. |
