The Painted Desert Community Complex Historic District is located within Petrified Forest National Park at exit 311 off of Interstate-40 in northeastern Arizona, which is considered part of the lower Colorado Plateau region. Petrified Forest is bounded by the Navajo Indian Reservation to the north and northwest, and by private lands, state trust lands, and U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands to the south, east, and west. This 93,533-acre park features one of the largest and most colorful concentrations of petrified wood in the world and more than 43,000-acres of the Painted Desert. Less than 5% of the park is developed, which provides a relatively unimpaired experience for visitors. Petrified Forest contains varied soils and terrain, which is dominated by the shortgrass prairie on the middle and upper plateaus, while desert plant communities are found in the lower elevations, and sparse stands of juniper occupy rocky upper slopes and mesa caps. The Painted Desert Community Complex resides approximately 1-mile from the edge of the Painted Desert near Interstate-40 and encompasses 23 contributing buildings, sites, and structures that comprise a self-contained, architect-designed, desert community. This complex was designed by Richard Neutra and Robert Alexander in 1958 to serve as the park's headquarters, including administrative offices, maintenance facilities, visitor and resident services, employee housing, and a designed landscape with features (photo No. 25). This 24-acre complex maintains its original form, footprint, spatial organization, and function, but most of the designed landscape features have all but disappeared. In their prospectus, "Homes for National Park Service Families on a Wind-Swept Desert," Neutra & Alexander divided the Painted Desert Community Complex into four areas: the Commercial Area, including the Administration Building/Visitor Center, Apartment Wing, Fred Harvey Restaurant/Curio Store and Service Station, Central Plaza, and Entrance Station/Gatehouse; the Industrial Area, which contains the Maintenance Building and Vehicle Storage Building; the Recreation Area that includes the Community Building and School Building; and the Residential Area, including the Teacherage Apartments, Residences, Carports, 8.

Areas of Significance (Enter categories from instructions) A - COMMUNITY PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT: associated with Mission 66 C - ARCHITECTURE: Distinct and unique example of Mission 66 architecture, designed by Richard Neutra & Robert Alexander G - less than 50 years of age Period of Significance: 1961 — 1965 Significant Dates: __N/A__________ Significant Person (Complete if Criterion B is marked above): __N/A Cultural Affiliation: __N/A__________ Architect/Builder: Richard Neutra & Robert Alexander . Narrative Statement of Significance (Explain the significance of the property on one or more continuation sheets.) The Painted Desert Community Complex is exceptionally important and nationally significant under Criterion A for its association with Mission 66, a nation-wide infrastructure improvement program implemented by the National Park Service from roughly 1956 until 1966. With the onset of World War II, the National Park Service was reduced to minimal staff and visitor services. All new construction projects halted and preventative maintenance was intentionally neglected. Shortly after the war, however, tourism increased dramatically. Even though the demand for facilities and visitor services intensified, the NPS's budget for equipment, materials, and personnel did not increase. This presented a marked dilemma for the National Park Service, which was struggling to provide the services and

  • Andy Warhol Was Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1928 and Died in Manhattan in 1987
    ANDY WARHOL Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1928 and died in Manhattan in 1987. He attended free art classes offered at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh at a young age. In 1945, after graduating high school, he enrolled at the Carnegie Institute for Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University), focused his studies on pictorial design, and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1949. Shortly after, Warhol moved to New York City to pursue a career in commercial art. In the late 1950s, Warhol redirected his attention to painting, and famously debuted “pop art”. In 1964, Warhol opened “The Factory”, which functioned as an art studio, and became a cultural hub for famous socialites and celebrities. Warhol’s work has been presented at major institutions and is featured in innumerous prominent collections worldwide.

  • Richard Neutra Powerpoint.Key
    RICHARD NEUTRA Jonathan Marshall Richard Neutra was born April 8th, 1892 in Vienna, Austria. He studied under Adolf Loos at the Technical University of Vienna. In 1923, at the age of 31, Neutra moved to the United States and settled in Southern California. Neutra introduced the International Style to America and (newer) Los Angeles Design to Europe. Briefly worked under Frank Lloyd Wright before accepting work in California. His innovative ideas of the time were well received in Southern California. The Lovell House (The Health House) The Lovell House, built in Los Angeles in 1920, was Neutra’s most influential work. Located on a steeply landscaped hill, it has views of the Pacific Ocean, the Santa Monica mountains, and the city of Los Angeles. The Lovell House The Lovell House was nicknamed the Health House because the interior is brought into harmony with nature as well as having outdoor play and recreation areas. It was similar to of Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier’s work in Europe. Comparison Kaufmann Desert House. Barcelona Pavilion. Richard Neutra. Mies Van Der Rohe. -Palm Springs, CA -Barcelona, Spain -was made for 1929 International Exposition German section Richard Neutra Mies van der Rohe Neutra believed in houses that have patios or porches that make the outdoors seem part of the house. He said that “architecture should be a means of bringing man back into harmony with nature”. “As an architect, my life has been governed by the goal of building environmental harmony, functional efficiency, and human enhancement into the experience of everyday living.
