This is a real gem - one of my favorites. There's an article in it [unsigned!] calling for more architectural study/perfection of the [temporary/mobile] architecture of the migrant worker. i wonder if it is unsigned to try and avoid the backlash 'socialists'/'communists' were beginning to feel at that time? one of the best american magazines ever - both for content and design imho.
was the school in pict#4 ever built anywhere? LUV THE STYLE! Spot-on attitude to teaching. I can see why this would be one of your favs.
i'm not sure mikie, but it looks pretty cool!
Schindler and Neutra are architects quite familiar to me, coming from the Los Angeles area. Rudolph Schindler built a beautiful home in South Pasadena, my home town in 1928, which was WAY ahead of its time, and is a historic landmark.I love your wonderful magazine!
thanks stefdesign. there is a house in pasadena featured in this issue - the home of professor graham laing by architect harwell harris. my favorite home in this issue is the wolfe sea-edge home on catalina island by schindler.
Neutra's Ring School was built, but not until 1960 when the times had caught up with his progressive designs a bit. It's now known as Richard J. Neutra Elementary School, located at Lemoore Naval Air Station near Fresno. Unfortunately, R. M. Schindler's amazing Wolfe House on Catalina Island was demolished in 2002.
