HOUSE BY SCHINDLER
In his 1926 article, "Care of the Body," in the Los Angeles Times, Rudolf Schindler describes the house of the future: "Our rooms will descend close to the ground, and the garden will become an integral part of the house. The distinction between the indoors and the out-of-doors will disappear. The walls will be few, thin, and removable. All rooms will become parts of an organic unit instead of being small separate boxes with peep-holes." Published 2006.0802

REDISCOVERING LOS ANGELES WALK STREETS
Grant Kirkpatrick is not one of LA's architecture fire-breathers, and he hasn't made headlines by designing futuristic blobs. Instead, the architect has done something far more useful: raised the visual standards and the civility of a waterfront neighborhood in Manhattan Beach. Into an otherwise cluttered beachfront known as the "walk streets," Kirkpatrick has introduced clarity and human scale, while reminding both homeowners and passersby of the uniquely public nature of the pedestrian-only streets.

A STYLISH SUSTAINABILITY
In the 1920s, after working with Frank Lloyd Wright for several years, architect Rudolf Schindler pioneered a new kind of residence in Southern California. Schindler's work, while exhibiting some formal attributes of the International Style, was tempered by a sensitivity to the environment. Published 2001.1107
