FINDINGS

The Polito House is "a notable work of a master builder, designer, or architect whose individual genius influenced his or her age” as an example of the early work of renowned modernist architect Raphael S. Soriano.

CRITERIA

The criterion is the Cultural Heritage Ordinance which defines a historical or cultural monument as any site (including significant trees or other plant life located thereon) building or structure of particular historic or cultural significance to the City of Los Angeles, such as historic structures or sites in which the broad cultural, economic, or social history of the nation, State or community is reflected or exemplified, or which are identified with historic personages or with important events in the main currents of national, State or local history or which embody the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction, or a notable work of a master builder, designer or architect whose individual genius influenced his age.

SUMMARY

Built in 1940, the Polito House is a Bauhaus-influenced, single family residence of the International Style designed by prominent modernist architect Raphael S. Soriano (1907-1988). The house is set into the Hollywood hillside, with a three-story elevation built to the lot line facing Queens Road. The house is square in plan with a flat roof. An attached two-car garage dominates the ground floor and fronts the street. Directly adjacent to the garage towards the north is the front door of the house. A large three-story multi-light opaque window on the north fa?ade filters light into the house on every floor and parallels the house’s internal staircase. The exterior of the building exhibits many character-defining features of the International Style, including a stucco exterior, flat roofs, steel casement ribbon windows, flush-mounted windows without trim, cantilevered balconies, and an overall absence of ornamentation. The ribbon windows provide the interior spaces with a high level of natural light and a sense of openness. Since the house backs onto the hillside, a cantilever bridge was included in the design to connect the uppermost floor to an elevated garden.

In 1983 a pool was added to the property and in 2005 the kitchen was remodeled, some windows were replaced in-kind, doors were added to the rear fa?ade, and the chimney was rebuilt.

The subject property was designed for original residents Anthony and Carmella Polito and is an example of Raphael S. Soriano’s early work. Other designs by Soriano include:

Ross House (1938), HCM #964 Glen Lukens Home and Studio (1940), HCM #866 Shulman House (1950), HCM #325 "El Paradiso” (1964), HCM #638

Born in Greece, Soriano immigrated to Los Angeles in 1924 where he earned his Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Southern California in 1934. While completing his degree, he interned for local master architect Richard Neutra, later opening his own firm in1936. Soriano received several prizes and accolades for his designs and participated in the famed Case Study CHC-2015-2719-HCM 1650 N. Queens Road Page 3 of 4

House program. During the 1950s, Soriano worked with developer Joseph Eichler in producing mass produced steel-framed homes.

In 1961, Soriano was made a Fellow of the American Institute for Architects (FAIA) and would continue to lecture and teach until his death in 1988. The Grove Encyclopedia of American Art includes Soriano, and recognizes the Polito House as one of his earlier designs featuring banded glass and stucco walls. The Polito House is also featured in David Gebhard and Robert Winter’s An Architectural Guidebook to Los Angeles, as well as in a February 1946 issue of Architectural Record.

DISCUSSION

Designed by renowned modernist architect Raphael S. Soriano, the Polito House successfully meets the criterion of the Cultural Heritage Ordinance as "a notable work of a master builder, designer, or architect whose individual genius influenced his or her age.” The Polito House is an example of Soriano’s early work in the distinctive International Style and retains its plan and character-defining features of the International Style. Typical of Soriano’s work, the house is boxy, sleek, and unadorned. The house maintains its stucco exterior, flat roofs, steel casement ribbon windows, flush-mounted windows without trim, and cantilevered balconies. The numerous windows remain intact or have been replaced in-kind to maintain the same aesthetic. The 2005 interior work appears to meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation based on the photographs provided in the nomination. It is not uncommon for Historic-Cultural Monuments to have some alterations, especially to kitchens and bathrooms, and in this case the work does not remove the property’s eligibility to become a Historic-Cultural Monument.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (“CEQA”) FINDINGS

State of California CEQA Guidelines, Article 19, Section 15308, Class 8 "consists of actions taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized by state or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment.”

State of California CEQA Guidelines Article 19, Section 15331, Class 31 "consists of projects limited to maintenance, repair, stabilization, rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, conservation or reconstruction of historical resources in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic buildings.”

The designation of the Polito House as a Historic-Cultural Monument in accordance with Chapter 9, Article 1, of The City of Los Angeles Administrative Code ("LAAC”) will ensure that future construction activities involving the subject property are regulated in accordance with Section 22.171.14 of the LAAC. The purpose of the designation is to prevent significant impacts to a Historic-Cultural Monument through the application of the standards set forth in the LAAC. Without the regulation imposed by way of the pending designation, the historic significance and integrity of the subject property could be lost through incompatible alterations and new construction and the demolition of an irreplaceable historic site/open space. The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are expressly incorporated into the LAAC and provide standards concerning the historically appropriate construction activities which will ensure the continued preservation of the subject property. CHC-2015-2719-HCM 1650 N. Queens Road Page 4 of 4

The use of Categorical Exemption Class 8 in connection with the proposed designation is consistent with the goals of maintaining, restoring, enhancing, and protecting the environment through the imposition of regulations designed to prevent the degradation of Historic-Cultural Monuments.

The use of Categorical Exemption Class 31 in connection with the proposed designation is consistent with the goals relating to the preservation, rehabilitation, restoration and reconstruction of historic buildings and sites in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.

Categorical Exemption ENV-2015-2720-CE was prepared on September 18, 2015.

This Bauhaus Style residence is set into a hillside, which gives it a three story facade at the street level, consisting of two stories of living space over a two car garage at street level. The front facade is squared, punctuated by two bands of windows at the second and third story levels, A two-story multi-light opaque window is along the West facade stairwell. The facade is covered in smooth stucco. The L-shaped second story opens to a large balcony, which sits atop the first floor living room. This (East) side of the house has large widow bands across at both door levels. The large quantity of windows makes the interior well lit and airy.

A wooden bridge connects the rear of the balcony with the rear of the steep lot. The balcony as well as a narrow patio area under part of it at the first floor both have solid stucco covered railings. There is also a similar designed parapet surrounding the flat roof of the house. A thin wall at the front of the house hides the balcony and patio area from the street. All exterior doors have a single large window light. The front door has opaque glass. A double set of steel folding doors on the East facade open to the garden. A triple set of tall single light wooden and glass double doors are at the rear of the house, under bridge (not original).

The front of the house is directly on the street with no setback. The West side is close to the lot line, heavily sloped. The wider East side yard had a grass or garden area that is now occupied by a rectangular swimming pool. The back yard is terraced up to the rear street (Franklin Avenue).

Interior features an open floor plan for the first floor living and dining rooms, including hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry with no railing at the top of the staircase, which is mostly enclosed between the glass window wall on the West side and a wall. The kitchen and bathrooms have been remodeled in the basic style of the house. Polito House 1650 Queens Road Significance Statement

Designed by Modernist architect Raphael S. Soriano in 1940 for Anthony and Carmella Polito, this cubic shaped hillside residence could also be considered to be built in the International Style, which is frequently used as an alternative name for the Bauhaus Style is given to more variation in design. The Polito House is pure in its Bauhaus regimen. The concept originated in Weimar Germany under the Bauhaus design school founded in 1919 by German architect Walter Gropius. Initially, the Bauhaus did not have an architecture department. Nonetheless, it was founded with the idea of creating a "total" work of art in which all arts, including architecture, would eventually be brought together. The Bauhaus style later became one of the most influential currents in modern design. The Bauhaus was to have a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, and typography.

The school existed in three German cities: Weimar from 1919 to 1925, Dessau from 1925 to 1932 and Berlin from 1932 to 1933, under three different architect-directors: Walter Gropius from 1919 to 1928, Hannes Meyer from 1928 to 1930 and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe from 1930 until 1933, when the school was closed by its own leadership under pressure from the Nazi regime. The Nazi government claimed that it was a centre of Communist intellectualism. Though the school was closed, the staff continued to spread its idealistic precepts as they left Germany and emigrated all over the world.

The Bauhaus movement had a major impact in the Modernism of the United States, especially in Los Angeles, with the Austrian-born architects Rudolph Michael Schindler and Richard Josef Neutra. Probably the earliest pure Bauhaus design in Los Angeles was Neutra's Lovell Health House (HCM 123), built in 1929, which was followed in 1934 with Schindler's Buck House (HCM 122), which were both declared in 1974 under the International Style description. Soriano, along with Gregory An and Harwell Hamilton Harris, worked for both Neutra and Schindler after graduating from the University of Southern California School of Architecture in 1934.

Born on the island of Rhodes in 1907, Soriano had come to the United States from his native Greece in 1924 and became a U S citizen five years later. His earliest work, after his internships with Neutra and Schindler, was for several Works Progress Administration (WPA) projects, which were never built. His first project to actually be constructed was a house in Silver Lake for Emanuel M. Lipetz (HCM 967), in 1936, followed by the short-lived Dodie Priver House the next year. The William Ross House (HCM 964) also in Silver Lake was built in 1938.

These early homes were pure Bauhaus in their design and execution, following the design regimen laid out by Walter Grupius, who had influenced both Neutra and Schindler. The Polito House was built with the concept that "form follows function", in that the layout of the house was dictated by what each part of it was to be used for. There was also the challenge of building the house on a steep slope that more conventional designers at the time would have considered unbuildable. The house was built on Lot 135 of Tract No. 8500, which was the second tract marketed as "Hacienda Park" in the mid 1920s. The name has fallen into disuse and the area is today referred to as "Hollywood Hills West". The neighborhood has a few homes from that early period, mostly on the more accessible lots. The rugged nature of the hillside properties delayed much of the development and the Polito House was one of the first built on a near vertical lot in the neighborhood.

Soriano used the windows along the South and East sides of the house to capture the views of the city and the Hollywood Hills, respectively. On the West, he designed a large three story window to bring the afternoon light into the house, but had the glass sandblasted to provide privacy. The kitchen was placed at the rear with the living and dining rooms sharing an open floor plan. A bridge was placed at the rear of the house, connecting the second story office to the terraced gardens at the rear. When looking at the house from the end of the bridge, one is reminded of the front view of Neutra's Lovell Health House in the Los Feliz Hills. The house was clearly designed for entertaining guests.

Not much has been found Anthony (aka Antonio) J. Polito or his wife Carmella (Constella). Prior to building the house, they were living on East 37th Street with her family. The 1940 Census lists Anthony as a bookkeeper for a wholesale food company and Carmella as a stenographer for Title Insurance an Trust. Anthony was born in California on November 26, 1910 in California to Italian immigrants Giusseppe "Joe" and Domenica (Sansone) Polito. His father died when he was 3 and his mother raised him and his three brothers until her death in 1929, after which Anthony lived with his older brother, Joseph, for several years. He passed away in San Diego on March 1, 1993. Carmella had died in 1962.

The original building permit for the Polito House does not list an architect, engineer or contractor, however, the document was filled out and signed by Soriano, who had not yet been granted his architects license. Most likely the architect served as the general contractor for the project as well. This did not keep him from being recognized for the Polito design after he obtained his license by several architectural publications.

On June 25,1945, the Politos sold the house to Viktor R. Benesch, who added Jon L. Layman to the title on August 9th of the following year. It was transferred to William I. Noel on April 29, 1949 and then to Vernon J. Alves on October 26, 1953. Alves deeded it to Louis Fox on February 26, 1957. It was sold to Philip and Edna Teal on April 9, 1959. It was acquired by Kay Nelson on April 6, 1960 and then by Alex and Helen M. Alexander on June 24, 1963, who transferred it to Conrad V. Feia on November 17th of the following year.

Feia remained in the house until January 29, 1978, when he transferred it to William R. and Annette Taylor, who lived there until the sold it to Helene Hahn on September 30, 1983. She added the swimming pool to the property in 1984 and stayed there until December 2, 2004, when it was deeded to Steven D. Hamilton who renovated the house the following year, while retaining its original design and floor plan.. Hamilton sold it to the current owner on December 11, 2013. The Polito House is noted in several books on Soriano, as well as Gebhard and Winter's architectural guide for Los Angeles (page 137 in the 1994 edition). The house was also profiled in the February 1946 issue of Architectural Record>

Unlike many of Soriano's houses, the Polito House has retained its integrity by not undergoing any major remodeling, in spite of the many transfers between 1945 and 1964. The most significant work was done in 2005, when the kitchen was remodeled and an additional door was added to the rear of the dining room.

The Polito House meets two of the criteria for a Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument. First, it is a representative of the Bauhaus (AKA International) Style of Modernist architecture. The use of the original German term "Bauhaus" due to its purity of design. Second, as a significant surviving work by the architect Raphael S. Soriano, a pioneer of the Modernist movement in Los Angeles. < *

~~From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia~~

Raphael S. Soriano, FAIA, (August 1, 1904—July 21, 1988) was an architect and educator who helped define a period of 20th-century architecture that came to be known as Mid-century modem. Soriano pioneered the use of modular prefabricated steel and aluminum structures in residential and commercial design and construction.

~~Biography Raphael S. Soriano~~

Born Bom in Rhodes to a Sephardic Jewish family, Soriano attended the August I. 1904 College Saint-Jean-Bapliste there before emigrating to the United States Rhodes. Greece in 1924. After settling with relatives in Los Angeles, Soriano enrolled in Died July 21, 1988 (aged 83) the University of Southern California's School of Architecture in 1929, Claremont. California from which he graduates in 1934. In 1930 Soriano became an American Nationality American citizen and in 1931 he secured an internship at the practice of Richard Neutra, working alongside fellow interns Gregory Ain and Harwell Alma mater University of Southern California

~~Hamilton Harris. This was followed by a brief internship with Rudolph Awards AIA Distinguished Achievemcni~~

Schindler in 1934, but Soriano quickly returned to his unpaid position at Award (1986) Neutra's office. USC Distinguished Alumni Award With America in the midst of the Great Depression, upon graduation (1986)

Soriano managed to find work with the County of Los Angeles on several Buildings Lipetz House WPA projects such as the famous "Steel Lobster" located in the county Shulman House and with a local architect's office. By 1936 he had completed his first Case Study House 1950 commission — the Lipetz house, which was included in the 1937 International Architectural Exhibition held in Paris. Colby Apartments Eichler House With U.S. residential and commercial construction largely curtailed by Adolph's Laboralory and Office America's involvement in the World War II. Soriano took up lecturing at Schrage House

USC and contributing designs to various competitions and publications Koosis House featuring proposals for post-war housing. Of these, Soriano received Projects Plywood House Third Prize in the Postwar Living Competition sponsored by Arts & Architecture magazine in 1943 with his "Plywood House" prototype. All Aluminum Homes With the end of the war Soriano found no trouble in securing Soria Structures commissions, and now it was his built houses receiving the awards, with World Peace Island Alcatraz his Katz house in Studio City picking up an award from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Southern California Chapter Three in 1949. 1950 found Soriano completing a residential design for friend and renown architectural photographer Julius Shulman one of the few Soriano structures still standing today, and along with the 1964 Grossman House, the last that was occupied by the original commissioning party.

Invited by John Entenza of Arts & Architecture magazine to participate in the Case Study Houses program, Soriano completed his entry in 1950. It marks a turning point for the program with its pioneering use of steel in residential construction, culminating in Pierre Koenig's Case Study Houses #21 and #22. Soriano's Colby Apartments of 1951 were distinct not only for their modem design but also for their extensive use of steel, and were recognized, receiving the National American Institute of Architects Award for Design, the VII International Pan American Congress Award, and the AIA Southern California Chapter One Honor Award.

In 1953 Soriano relocated from Los Angeles to Tiburon, in Marin County, across the bay north of San Francisco, where he lived with his wife Elizabeth Stephens!Betty) and her two daughters Margaret and Lucille Coberly. By 1955 Soriano designed the first mass-produced steel house, built by developer Joseph Eichler in Palo Alto. His work with Eichler would gamer two awards from the Northern California Chapter of the AIA.

Soriano was made a Fellow by the American Institute of Architects (FAIA) in 1961. In 1965 Soriano started a venture to design and build prefabricated aluminum houses called Soria Structures, Inc.; the structures were marketed as "All Aluminum Homes." The last designs of Soriano's to be realized were eleven All Aluminum Homes on the island of Maui, Hawaii, built in 1965.

From 1970 to his death in 1988 Soriano focused on traveling the world as an architectural lecturer, writer and researcher. Soriano was recognized by the AIA with a Distinguished Achievement Award and by USC with a Distinguished Alumni Award, both in 1986. Shortly before his death he served as a Special Sessions Instructor at the College of Environmental Design at Cal Poly PomonaJ1'

~~Works~~

Of the 50 buildings of Soriano's built, only 12 remain standing, the others having suffered from southern California's wildfires, earthquakes, and demolition. Of those remaining, a number had to endure unsympathetic make-overs and additions. The several that remain intact and unmolested now benefit from municipal preservation codes. A collection of Soriano Documents is kept at the College of Environmental Design Resource Center at the California State Polytechnic University. Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona).

~~By JOHN DREYFUSS. 'times A rchittcturc and Design Critic~~

Architect Raphael Soriano. 73. of Tiburon. received the Neutra Professional Medal Tor Design Excellence Saturday at Cal Poly Pomona. aoriano. wno was oorn in crcece, graduated trom USC's School of Architecture and practiced in Southern California for about 20 years before moving to the Bay Area in 1952. He is best known and most admired for his elegant. nr spare meiui ami glass res : r * idences built since World Warll. In 1967 a single-story office building he designed was selected by the City of I Los Angeles and the American Institute of Ar chitects' Southern Califor nia chapter as "one of the most significant buildings erected in the Los Angeles area since 1947.” The structure is at 1800 W Magnolia Blvd.. Burbank. The Neutra medal, named for the late ar chitect Richard Neutra. is sponsored by the depart Raphael Soriano ment of architecture at Cal r’oiy Pomona, wnere Neu- tra taught in 1970. the year before he died. The award is given annually to an architect whose work and philoso phy reflects many of Neutra's Ideals. "Soriano was a highly logical choice." said Marvin Malccha. chairman of Cal Poly Pomona's department of architecture and a member of the Jury that selected Sor iano. "As a follower of Richard Neutra, Soriano advocated the concepts of survival through design: the theory that architecture strongly and positively affects altitudes about life," Malechasaid. Thomas S. Hines, architectural historian at UCLA, and also a jury member, said, "Soriano’s architecture of the late 1930s and early 1940s was. for the time and place (Southern California) daring and courageous. He was a pioneer In developing metal and glass structures that did not become widely accepted until the 1950s." Soriano, who worked for Neutra in the 1930s. first drew attention In that decade with his white, rectilinear houses that were highly responsive to their climate and landscape. In the '40s. he began working with the metal and glass style for which he is best known. Soriano is vehemently opposed lo "art for art's sake" in architecture. " 'Art' does not enlighten, but creates confusion and enslavement," Soriano has written. "If you carve or paint anything on your buildings," the architect said, "then you have to say what you are doing with these non-archilectural things. At best they become decorative aspects or an applique. Alain, the French thinker, said that women will usually pul trink ets on. especially the older they get. to detract from their creases. That is exactly what is loo often happen ing in architecture." Members of the jury that selected Soriano were Mrs. Richard Neutra. widow of the late architect; Jere S. French, dean of Cal Poly Pomona's School of Environ mental Design; Bernard Zimmerman, who teaches ar chitecture at Cal Poly Pomona. Malecha, and Hines.

Soriano Raphael Soriano, an architect best known for his pioneering use of steel framing in a series of homes and office buildings across Southern California, was found dead Saturday at his Claremont home. His longtime friend. Richard Chylinski, said the Greek-born en gineer and planner was 83 and had been in apparent good health. A specific cause of death has not been reported. Sam Hall Kaplan. The Times' architecture critic, last May called attention to Soriano's "reasoned marriage between architecture and engineering.” The comment was occasioned by Cal Poly Pomona's School of Environmental Design paying tribute to Soriano, who had returned lo the Los Angeles area from Northern California three years ago. He since had been teaching at Cal Poly. A 1934 graduate of the Universi ty of Southern California, which honored him in 1986 with Its Dis tinguished Alumnus Award. Sori ano was admired for his elegant homes designed since World War II. Designs for which he is best known here include the Case Study House in Pacific Palisades, the Shulman House in the Hollywood Hills (declared a historical-cultur al monument last year) and the Colby apartment complex on Bev erly Green Drive in Palms that has since been demolished.

Rock n’ Roll Architect Wh.it misbegotten muse, I won dered could have driven Austrian architect Wolf Pnx to come up with his unearthly junk pile pictured in the story "Dramatic Dwelling That Says 'I Love L.A. I M (by Leon Whiteson, Peb, 5). The answer came In the telling of how Prix shuts his eyes—"literal ly"—and begins scriboling out his phantasmagoric concoctions with the nerve-fraying blare of Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles filling his Vienna workplace. Influenced by such aural disso nance, little wonder Prix is drawn bizarre, cacophonous images. In computer parlance, "garbage in garbage out." A far—and sad—cry from the nightmares of this "deconslructiv- i.st were those of the late Kaphaci Soriano. This architect’s residential and commercial structures reflect ed a highly refined discipline that were always sensitively tuned to be in harmony with the challenges of site and client. The difference between Pnx'.s ephemeral novelties and Soriano's timeless concepts is that the latter sought his inspiration from the sounds of J. S Bach in his studio. EDMITCHKLI. Los Angeles

4 Staatliches Bauhaus , commonly known simply as Bauhaus, was an art school in Germany that combined crafts and the line arts, and was famous for the approach to design that it publicised and taught. It operated from 1919 to 1933. At that time the

~~German term 4 Bauhaus - literally "house of construction" - was understood as » ^ ’ meaning "School of Building". -~~

The Bauhaus was First founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar. In spite of its name, and the fact that its founder was an architect, the Bauhaus during the first years of its existence did not have an architecture department. Nonetheless, it was founded with the idea of creating a "total " work of art in which all arts, including architecture, The Bauhaus Dessau. would eventually be brought together. The Bauhaus style later became one of the most influential currents in modern design, Modernist architecture and art, design and architectural educationJ'l The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art. architecture, graphic design, interior design, f industrial design, and typography.

The school existed in three German cities: Weimar from 1919 to 1925, Dessau from 1925 to 1932 and Berlin from 1932 to 1933, under three different architect-directors: H Walter Gropius from 1919 to 1928, Hannes Meyer from 1928 to 1930 and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe from 1930 until 1933, when the school was closed by its own 1921/2, Walter Gropius's leadership under pressure from the Nazi regime. The Nazi government claimed that it Expressionist Monument to the was a centre of communist intelleclualism.

For instance: the pottery shop was discontinued V when the school moved from Weimar to Dessau, even though it had been an / important revenue source; when Mies van der Rohe took over the school in 1930, he r r transformed it into a private school, and would not allow any supporters of Hannes \ /> Meyer to attend it. £

~~Bauhaus and German modernism~~

Germany's defeat in World War I, the fall of the German monarchy and the abolition of censorship under the new, liberal Weimar Republic allowed an upsurge of radical experimentation in all the arts, previously suppressed by the old regime. Many Germans of left-wing views were influenced by the cultural experimentation that followed the Russian Revolution, such as constructivism. Such influences can be overstated: Gropius himself did not share these radical views, and said that Bauhaus was entirely apolitical.'3’ Just as important was the influence of the 19th century English designer William Morris, who had argued that art should meet the needs of society and that there should be no distinction between form and function.'4^ Thus the Bauhaus style, also known as the

~~The Bauhaus Museum - Tel Aviv International Style, was marked by the absence of ornamentation and by harmony between the function of an object or a building and its design.~~

However, the most important influence on Bauhaus was modernism, a cultural movement whose origins lay as far back as the 1880s, and which had already made its presence felt in Germany before the World War, despite the prevailing conservatism. The design innovations commonly associated with Gropius and the Bauhaus—the radically simplified forms, the rationality and functionality, and the idea that mass-production was reconcilable with the individual artistic spirit—were already partly developed in Germany before the Bauhaus was founded. The German national designers' organization Deutscher Werkbund was formed in 1907 by Hermann Muthesius to harness the new potentials of mass production, with a mind towards preserving Germany's economic competitiveness with England. In its first seven years, the Werkbund came to be regarded as the authoritative body on questions of design in Germany, and was copied in other countries. Many fundamental questions of craftsmanship versus mass production, the relationship of usefulness and beauty, the practical purpose of formal beauty in a commonplace object, and whether or not a single proper form could exist, were argued out among its 1,870 members (by 1914).

The entire movement of German architectural modernism was known as Neues Bauen. Beginning in June 1907. Peter Behrens' pioneering industrial design work for the German electrical company AEG successfully integrated art and mass production on a large scale. He designed consumer products, standardized parts, created clean-lined designs for the company's graphics, developed a consistent corporate identity, built the modernist landmark AEG Turbine Factory, and made full use of newly developed materials such as poured concrete and exposed steel. Behrens was a founding member ol the Werkbund. and both Walter Gropius and Adolf Meyer worked for him in this period.

The Bauhaus was founded at a time when the German Zeitgeist had turned from emotional Expressionism to the matter- of-fact New Objectivity. An entire group of working architects, including Erich Mendelsohn, Bruno Taut and Hans Poelzig, turned away from fanciful experimentation, and turned Loward rational, functional, sometimes standardized building. Beyond the Bauhaus. many other significant German-speaking architects in the 1920s responded to the same aesthetic issues and material possibilities as the school. They also responded to the promise of a "minimal dwelling" written into the new Weimar Constitution. Ernst May, Bruno Taut, and Marlin Wagner, among others, built large housing blocks in Frankfurt and Berlin. The acceptance of modernist design into everyday life was the subject of publicity campaigns, well-attended public exhibitions like the Weissenhof Estate, films, and sometimes fierce public debate.

Bauhaus and Vkhutemas The Vkhutemas, the Russian state art and technical school founded in 1920 in Moscow, has been compared to Bauhaus. Founded a year after the Bauhaus school, Vkhutemas has close parallels to the German Bauhaus in its intent, organization and scope. The two schools were the first to train artist-designers in a modern manner.*5* Both schools were state-sponsored initiatives to merge the craft tradition with modem technology, with a Basic Course in aesthetic principles, courses in color theory, industrial design, and architecture.*5* Vkhutemas was a larger school than the Bauhaus,'6* but it was less publicised outside the Soviet Union and consequently, is less familiar to the West.*7*

With the internationalism of modem architecture and design, there were many exchanges between the Vkhutemas and the Bauhaus.*^* The second Bauhaus director Hannes Meyer attempted to organise an exchange between the two schools, while Hinnerk Scheper of the Bauhaus collaborated with various Vkhutein members on the use of colour in architecture. In addition, El Lissitzky's book Russia: an Architecture for World Revolution published in German in 1930 featured several illustrations of Vkhutemas/Vkhutein projects there.

The school was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar in 1919 Bauhaus and its Sites in Weimar and Dessau as a merger of the Grand Ducal School of Arts and Crafts and Name as inscribed on the World Heritage List (http://whc.unesco.org/cn/li.st) the Weimar Academy of Fine Art. Its roots lay in the arts and crafts school founded by the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar- L Eisenach in 1906 and directed by Belgian Art Nouveau Vm?- * i V / architect Henry van de Velde.*0* When van de Velde was * • ! P forced to resign in 1915 because he was Belgian, he suggested Gropius, Hermann Obrist and August Endell as possible successors. In 1919. after delays caused by the destruction of m ri World War I and a lengthy debate over who should head the institution and the socio-economic meanings of a reconciliation of the fine arts and the applied arts (an issue ezsz**-** i which remained a defining one throughout the school's existence), Gropius was made the director of a new institution Bauhaus building in Dessau integrating the two called the Bauhaus.*10* In the pamphlet for an April 1919 exhibition entitled "Exhibition of Unknown Type Cultural Architects", Gropius proclaimed his goal as being "to create a Criteria n, iv, vi new guild of craftsmen, without the class distinctions which Reference 729 raise an arrogant barrier between craftsman and artist." (http://whc.unesco.org Gropius' neologism Bauhaus references both building and the /cn/list/729) Bauhiitte, a premodern guild of stonemasons.*11 * The early intention was for the Bauhaus to be a combined architecture UNESCO region (http://whc.unesco.org Europe and North school, crafts school, and academy of the arts. In 1919 Swiss /en/list/?search=&search_by_country=& America painter Johannes Itten, German-American painter Lyonel type=&media=®ton=&order=region) Feininger. and German sculptor Gerhard Marcks, along with Inscription history Gropius, comprised the faculty of the Bauhaus. By the following year their ranks had grown to include German Inscription 1996 (2()th Session) painter, sculptor and designer Oskar Schlemmer who headed the theater workshop, and Swiss painter Paul Klee, joined in 1922 by Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky. A tumultuous year at the Bauhaus, 1922 also saw the move of Dutch painter Theo van Doesburg to Weimar to promote De Stijl ("The Style"), and a visit to the Bauhaus by Russian Constructivist artist and architect El Lissitzky.*12*

From 1919 to 1922 the school was shaped by the pedagogical and aesthetic ideas of Johannes Itten, who taught the Vorkurs or "preliminary course" that was the introduction to the ideas of the Bauhaus.*10* Itten was heavily influenced in his teaching by the ideas of Franz Cizek and Friedrich Wilhelm August Frobel. He was also influenced in respect to aesthetics by the work of the Blaue Reiter group in Munich as well as the work of Austrian Expressionist Oskar Kokoschka. The influence of German Expressionism favoured by Itten was analogous in some ways to the fine arts side of the ongoing debate. This influence culminated with the addition of Der Blaue Reiter founding member Wassily Kandinsky to the faculty and ended when Itten resigned in late 1922. Itten was replaced by the Hungarian designer Laszl6 V- Moholy-Nagy, who rewrote the Vorkurs with a leaning towards the New Objectivity favored by Gropius, which was analogous in some ways to the applied arts side of the debate. Although this shift was an important one, it did not represent a radical HIM i I* AJ break from the past so much as a small step in a broader, more gradual socio economic movement that had been going on at least since 1907 when van de Velde The main building of the Bauhaus- had argued for a craft basis for design while Hermann Muthesius had begun University Weimar (buill 1904-1911, implementing industrial prototypes H21 designed by Henry van de Velde to Gropius was not necessarily against Expressionism, and in fact himself in the same house the sculptors' studio at the 1919 pamphlet proclaiming this "new guild of craftsmen, without the class Grand Ducal Saxon Art School. snobbery," described "painting and sculpture rising to heaven out of the hands of a Designated as a UNESCO World million craftsmen, the crystal symbol of the new faith of the future." By 1923 Heritage Site in 1996). however, Gropius was no longer evoking images of soaring Romanesque cathedrals and the craft-driven aesthetic of the "Volkisch movement", instead declaring "we want an architecture adapted to our world of machines, radios and fast cars. ••ID] Gropius argued that a new period of history had begun with the end of the war. He wanted to create a new architectural style to reflect this new era. His style in architecture and consumer goods was to be functional, cheap and consistent with mass production. To these ends, Gropius wanted to reunite art and craft to arrive at high-end functional products with artistic merit. The Bauhaus issued a magazine called Bauhaus and a series of books called "Bauhausbiicher". Since the Weimar Republic lacked the quantity of raw materials available to the United States and Foyer of the Bauhaus-University Great Britain, it had to rely on the proficiency of a skilled labor force and an ability Weimar to export innovative and high quality goods. Therefore designers were needed and so was a new type of art education. The school's philosophy slated that the artist should be trained to work with the industry.

Weimar was in the German state of Thuringia, and the Bauhaus school received state support from the Social Democrat- controlled Thuringian state government. The school in Weimar experienced political pressure from conservative circles in Thuringian politics, increasingly so after 1923 as political tension rose. One condition placed on the Bauhaus in this new political environment was the exhibition of work undertaken at the school. This condition was met in 1923 with the Bauhaus' exhibition of the experimental Haus am HomJ14^ In February 1924, the Social Democrats lost control of the state parliament to the Nationalists. The Ministry of Education placed the staff on six-month contracts and cut the school's funding in half. On 26 December 1924 the Bauhaus issued a press release and setting the closure of the school for the end of March 1925.115H l6I At this point they had already been looking for alternative sources of funding. After the Bauhaus moved to Dessau, a school of industrial design with teachers and staff less antagonistic to the conservative political regime remained in Weimar. This school was eventually known as the Technical University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, and in 1996 changed its name to Bauhaus-University Weimar.

~~Dessau~~

Gropius's design for the Dessau facilities was a return to the futuristic Gropius of 1914 that had more in common with the International style lines of the Fagus Factory than the stripped down Neo-classical of the Werkbund pavilion or the Volkisch Sommerfeld HouseJ17' The Dessau years saw a remarkable change in direction for arm the school. According to Elaine Hoffman. Gropius had approached the Dutch architect Mart Slam to run the newly founded architecture program, and when Slam declined the position. Gropius turned to Siam’s friend and colleague in the ABC The Bauhaus Dessau group, Hannes Meyer.

Meyer became director when Gropius resigned in February 1928, and brought the Bauhaus its two most significant building commissions, both of which still exist: live apartment buildings in the city of Dessau, and the headquarters of the Federal School of the German Trade Unions (ADGB) in Bemau. Meyer favored measurements and calculations in his presentations to clients, along with the use of off-the-shelf architectural components to reduce costs, and this approach proved attractive to potential clients. The school turned its first profit under his leadership in 1929.

But Meyer also generated a great deal of conflict. As a radical functionalist, he had no patience with the aesthetic program, and forced the resignations of Herbert Bayer, Marcel Breuer, and other long-time instructors. Even though Meyer shifted the orientation of the school further to the left than it had been under Gropius, he didn't want the school to become a tool of left-wing party politics. He prevented the formation of a student Communist cell, and in the increasingly dangerous political atmosphere, this became a threat to the existence of the Dessau school. Dessau mayor Fritz Hesse fired him in the summer of 1930J1The Dessau city council attempted to convince Gropius to return as head of the school, but Gropius instead suggested Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Mies was appointed in 1930. and immediately interviewed each student, dismissing those that he deemed uncommitted. Mies halted the school's manufacture of goods so that the school could focus on teaching. Mies appointed no new faculty other than his close confidant Lilly Reich. By 1931. tire National Socialist German Workers' Party was becoming more influential in German politics. When they gained control of the Dessau City Council they moved to close the school.!19!

~~Berlin~~

In late 1932. Mies rented a derelict factory in Berlin to use as the new Bauhaus with his own money. The students and faculty rehabilitated the building, painting the interior white. The school operated for ten months without further interference from the Nazi Party. In 1933. the Gestapo closed down the Berlin school. Mies protested the decision, eventually speaking to the head of the Gestapo, who agreed to allow the school to re-open. However, shortly after receiving a letter permitting the opening of the Bauhaus, Mies and the other faculty agreed to voluntarily shut down the school.! 19)

Although neither the Nazi Party nor Hitler himself had a cohesive architectural policy before they came to power in 1933, Nazi writers like Wilhelm Frick and Alfred Rosenberg had already labeled the Bauhaus "un-German" and criticized its modernist styles, deliberately generating public controversy over issues like fiat roofs. Increasingly through the early 1930s, they characterized the Bauhaus as a front for communists and social liberals. Indeed, a number of communist students loyal to Meyer moved to the Soviet Union when he was fired in 1930.

Even before the Nazis came to power, political pressure on Bauhaus had increased. The Nazi movement, from nearly the start, denounced the Bauhaus for its "degenerate art", and the Nazi regime was determined to crack down on what it saw as the foreign, probably Jewish influences of "cosmopolitan modernism." Despite Gropius's protestations that as a war veteran and a patriot his work had no subversive political intent, the Berlin Bauhaus was pressured to close in April 1933. Emigrants did succeed, however, in spreading the concepts of the Bauhaus to other countries, including the “New Bauhaus" of Chicago:*20! Mies decided to emigrate to the United Stales for the directorship of the School of Architecture at the Armour Institute (now Illinois Institute of Technology) in Chicago and to seek building commissions.!®! The simple engincenng- oriented functionalism of stripped-down modernism, however, lead to some Bauhaus influences living on in Nazi Germany. When Hitler's chief engineer, Fritz Todt, began opening the new autobahn (highways) in 1935. many of the bridges and service stations were "bold examples of modernism"—among those submitting designs was Mies van der Rohe.!2'!

~~Architectural output~~

The paradox of the early Bauhaus was that, although its manifesto proclaimed that the ultimate aim of all creative activity was building, the school did not offer classes in architecture until 1927. During the years under Gropius (1919-1927), he and his partner Adolf Meyer observed no real distinction between the output of his architectural office and the school. So the built output of Bauhaus architecture in these years is the output of Gropius: the Sommerfeld house in Berlin, the Otte house in Berlin, the Auerbach house in Jena, and the competition design for the Chicago Tribune Tower, which brought the school much attention. The definitive 1926 Bauhaus building in Dessau is also attributed to Gropius. Apart from contributions to the 1923 Haus am Horn, student architectural work amounted to un-built projects, intenor finishes, and craft work like cabinets, chairs and pottery.

In the next two years under Meyer, the architectural focus shifted away from aesthetics and towards functionality. There were major commissions: one from the city ol Dessau for five tightly designed "Laubenganghauser" (apartment buildings with balcony access), which are still in use today, and another for the headquarters of the Federal School of the German Trade Unions (ADGB) in Bernau bei Berlin. Meyer's approach was to research users' rsn needs and scientifically develop the design solution.

Mies van der Rohe repudiated Meyer’s politics, his supporters, and his architectural approach. As opposed to Gropius's "study of essentials", and Meyer's research into user requirements, Mies advocated a "spatial implementation of intellectual decisions", which effectively meant an adoption of his own aesthetics. Neither van der Rohe nor his Bauhaus students saw any projects built during the 1930s. Bauhaus building in Chemnitz

The popular conception of the Bauhaus as the source of extensive Weimar-era working housing is not accurate. Two projects, the apartment building project in a Dessau and the Torten row housing also in Dessau, fall in that category, but u - developing worker housing was not the first priority of Gropius nor Mies. It was the Bauhaus contemporaries Bruno Taut, Hans Poelzig and particularly Emst May. as the city architects of Berlin, Dresden and Frankfurt respectively, who are rightfully credited with the thousands of socially progressive housing units built in Weimar r Germany. The housing Taut built in south-west Berlin during the 1920s, close to the U-Bahn stop Onkel Toms Hiitte. is still occupied. i > A stage in the Festsaal Impact

The Bauhaus had a major impact on art and architecture trends in Western Europe, the United States, Canada and Israel in the decades following its demise, as many of the artists involved fled, or were exiled by, the Nazi regime. Tel Aviv in 2004 was named to the list of world heritage sites by the UN due to its abundance of Bauhaus architecture;'22"23' it had some 4,000 Bauhaus buildings erected from 1933 on.

In 1928. the Hungarian painter Alexander Bortnyik founded a school of design in 3 Budapest called Miihely (also "Muhely”'24' or "Mugely"'25'), which means "the studio".'26' Located on the seventh floor of a house on Nagymezo Street,'26' it was Ceiling with light Fixtures for stage in meant to be the Hungarian equivalent to the Bauhaus.'27' The literature sometimes the Festsaal refers to it—in an oversimplified manner—as "the Budapest Bauhaus".'28' Bortnyik was a great admirer of Moholy-Nagy and had met Walter Gropius in Weimar between 1923 and 1925.'29' Moholy-Nagy himself taught at the Miihely. Victor Vasarely, a pioneer of Op Art, studied at this school before establishing in Paris in 1930.'30'

Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy re-assembled in Britain during the mid 1930s to live and work in the Isokon project before the war caught up z i with them. Both Gropius and Breuer went to teach at the Harvard Graduate School of 3 to Design and worked together before their professional split. Their collaboration m produced The Aluminum City Terrace in New Kensington, Pennsylvania and the Alan I W Frank House in Pittsburgh, among other projects. The Harvard School was | :ies enormously influential in America in the late 1920s and early 1930s, producing such ■ students as Philip Johnson, l.M. Pei, Lawrence Halprin and Paul Rudolph, among Dormitory balconies in the residence many others.

In the late 1930s, Mies van der Rohe re-settled in Chicago, enjoyed the sponsorship of the influential Philip Johnson, and became one of the pre-eminent architects in the world. Moholy-Nagy also went to Chicago and founded the New Bauhaus school under the sponsorship of industrialist and philanthropist Walter Paepcke. This school became the Institute of Design, part of the Illinois Institute of Technology. Printmaker and painter Werner Drewes was also largely responsible for bringing the Bauhaus aesthetic to America and taught at both Columbia University and Washington University in St. Louis. Herbert Bayer, sponsored by Paepcke, moved to Aspen. Colorado in support of Paepcke's Aspen projects at the Aspen Institute. In 1953. Max Bill, together with Inge Aicher-Scholl and Otl Aicher, founded the Ulm School of Design (German; Hochschule fur Gestaltung—HfG Ulm) in Ulm, Germany, a design school in the tradition of the Bauhaus. The school is notable for its inclusion of semiotics as a field of study. The school closed in 1968, but the "Ulm Model" concept continues to influence international design education J31*

The influence of the Bauhaus on design education was significant. One of the main Mechanically opened windows objectives of the Bauhaus was to unify art, craft, and technology, and this approach was incorporated into the curriculum of the Bauhaus. The structure of the Bauhaus Vorkurs (preliminary course) reflected a pragmatic approach to integrating theory and application. In their first year, students leamt the basic elements and principles of design and colour theory, and experimented with a range of materials and processes. ii I32H331 approach to design education became a common feature of architectural T and design school in many countries. For example, the Shillito Design School in Sydney stands as a unique link between Australia and the Bauhaus. The colour and design syllabus of the Shillito Design School was firmly underpinned by the theories and ideologies of the Bauhaus. Its first year foundational course mimicked the Vorkurs and focused on the elements and principles of design plus colour theory and • 4ill application. The founder of the school. Phyllis Shillito. which opened in 1962 and The Mensa (Cafeteria) closed in 1980. firmly believed that "A student who has mastered the basic principles of design, can design anything from a dress to a kitchen stove".*34!

One of the most important contributions of the Bauhaus is in the field of modern Vk furniture design. The ubiquitous Cantilever chair and the Wassily Chair designed by Marcel Breuer are two examples. (Breuer eventually lost a legal battle in Germany with Dutch archilect/designer Mart Stam over the rights to the cantilever chair patent. Although Stam had worked on the design of the Bauhaus's 1923 exhibit in Weimar, and guest-lectured at the Bauhaus later in the 1920s. he was not formally associated with the school, and he and Breuer had worked independently on the cantilever concept, thus leading to the patent dispute.) The single most profitable tangible product of the Bauhaus was its wallpaper.

The physical plant at Dessau survived World War II and was operated as a design Typewriter Olivetti Studio 42 school with some architectural facilities by the German Democratic Republic. This designed by the Bauhaus-alumnus included live stage productions in the Bauhaus theater under the name of Alexander Schawinsky in 1936 Bauhausbiihie ("Bauhaus Stage"). After German reunification, a reorganized school continued in the same building, with no essential continuity with the Bauhaus under Gropius in the early 1920s.*35! In 1979 Bauhaus-Dessau College started to organize postgraduate programs with participants from all over the world. This effort has been supported by the Bauhaus-Dessau Foundation which was founded in 1974 as a public institution.

Later evaluation of the Bauhaus design credo was critical of its flawed recognition of the human element, an acknowledgement of “...the dated, unattractive aspects of the Bauhaus as a projection of utopia marked by mechanistic views of human nature...Home hygiene without home atmosphere.••[36|

~~The White City~~

The White City of Tel Aviv (Hebrew: nnbn vyn, Ha-lr HaLevana) refers to a collection of over 4,000 Bauhaus or International style buildings built in Tel Aviv from the 1930s by German Jewish architects who emigrated to the British Mandate of Palestine after the rise of the Nazis. Tel Aviv has the largest number of buildings in this style of any city in the world. In 2003, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) proclaimed Tel Aviv’s White City a World Cultural Heritage site, as "an outstanding example of new town planning and architecture in the early 20th century."^7'

Established in 2000. The Bauhaus Center in Tel Aviv is an organization dedicated to the ongoing documentation of the architectural heritage.'38' In 2003, it hosted an exhibition on preservation of the architecture that showcased 25 buildings.'3y' To further the architectural culture in the city, a Bauhaus Museum opened in Tel Aviv in 2008, designed by Israeli architect Ron Arad.'40"41'

~~Bauhaus artists~~

~~The Bauhaus was not a formal group, but rather a school. Its three architect-directors (Waller Gropius, Hannes Meyer, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe) are the names most closely associated with it.~~

~~~~Shannon,~~~~

Thanks again for hopping on the phone earlier today. As discussed, I wanted to follow-up to detail some of the augmentation that have occurred over the years to the property at 1650 Queens Rd, and as a result, the reasons why I strongly believe the property should not be eligible for conservancy status:

• The kitchen has been entirely remodeled and redone-in addition to all modem appliances the countertops have been replaced to a Can-era marble that is not consistent with the historical style nor the style of architecture of the original Polito House. • Additionally, the bar area was knocked out and a wall was added to separate this room from the living room along with raising the level of this new bar area, all of which are significant deviations from the original plans • The entire north side of the house has had the windows entirely re-done with frosted glass that was not consistent with the original plans nor the style of architecture • The original downstairs fireplace was removed and a wall was added in its place that was not in the original plans and entirely changes the feel of the living room • The doors on the back of the dining room were not there in the original plans and change the feel of the house • Similarly, the lower balcony of the original house was not sealed off such that the entire profile and shape of the structure has been changed over the years • The upstairs closets have been entirely re-done and are not reflective of the Bauhaus style nor the time period • The upstairs bathroom has been entirely re-done and is not at all consistent with the original style

As you can see there have been significant deviations from Raphael Soriano's plans and characteristic style. As the owner I can strongly say that I do not recommend the committee move forward with granting the house historically significant status given all of these material changes. I'm happy to discuss further if helpful so please just let me know. While I was willing to show the house, unfortunately I will not be able to make arrangements to do so the rest of this week so sincere apologies on that. Thanks in advance for your consideration of this matter.

~~~~All the best, Jared~~~~
