Schindler (1887–1953) combined modern form and inventive construction with new materials to create a truly modern vision of living that remains inspirational to the present day. This book features twenty famous and lesser known houses from that period, designed by the two pioneers and other archi- tects that were influenced by Neutra’s and Schindler’s ideas. All are marked by highly economical use and outstanding quality of space, a minimalist aesthetic, and by their ideal adaption to climatic conditions. They are monuments of a period as well as timeless models for contemporary and future architecture. The images show the buildings in their present state, highlight- ing their nature as actively used living spaces where alterations to original designs have been made rather than as preserved monuments. The texts explore the relationship of the present in- habitants to their homes and what they mean to them. Together, the authors offer uniquely intimate insights into a sophisticated way of life still too little known outside California. Californian way of life: intimate contemporary insights into LA’s sophisticated modern homes of the 1930s to 1960s Andreas Nierhaus is a scholar of art history and a curator for architecture and sculpture at Vien- na’s Wien Museum.

Over decades, Scharoun had woven an extensive network of research and knowledge systems as a basis for his floor-plan designs. His writings and lectures from between 1947 and 1958 reveal the countless threads of research and discourse, which his work in residential architecture referenced and absorbed. They high- light the sometimes contradictory, yet constant renewal and consolidation of his knowledge in the field of housing. This book demonstrates how closely interlocked Romeo and Ju- lia are with their architect’s immense engagement with the topic of housing. Based on extensive research and drawing on previ- ously unpublished archive material, it offers a unique insight into Scharoun’s design process. Alongside reproductions of original plans and drawings, it features excerpts from his unpublished text fragments as well as newly commissioned photo essay that highlights Romeo and Julia’s highly expressive appearance. Insights into the design process and intellectual foundations of Hans Scharoun, one of the most extraordinary protagonists of Germany’s modern architecture Markus Peter is an architect and founding partner of Meili Peter Architects with offices in Zurich and Munich. He also teaches as a professor of architecture and construction at ETH Zurich. Ulrike Tillmann is an architect and architectural historian. She has been working as research assistant with Markus Peter’s chair of architec- ture and construction at ETH Zurich 2006–09 and is currently pursuing her PhD at Freie Universität Berlin.

Yet despite these manifold and daunting tasks, the Brazilian metropolis has since the 1960s maintained a prudent policy of investing in communal infrastructure, thus providing inclusive places and spaces for all of its 20m-population. While many cities aim for a “Bilbao-effect” by funding iconic, tourist-orientated projects such as museums or the- atres, São Paulo persistently supports programs and usages that serve its permanent residents. This book features a selection of these buildings and projects from five decades.
