CHC-201 0-80-HCM Page 2 of4 FINDINGS 1. The building "embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction" as an example of International Style residential architecture. 2. The building is associated with a master builder, designer, or architect, as a work by master architect Richard J. Neutra. 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 1938 and located in the Santa Monica Canyon area of Pacific Palisades, this one-story single-family residence exhibits character-defining features of International Style architecture. The proposed Barsha House historic monument has a low horizontal profile with an asymmetrical fayade and slanted roof. A gradual, unelaborated row of steps leads to the residence's west entrance while an attached garage is accessed from the east. The front fayade has a partial-width porch with roof overhang and horizontal metal railing. Clad in smooth . stucco with unadorned wall expanses, the subject building's exterior is characterized by horizontal ribbons of steel casement windows lacking decorative detailing or trim. The T­ shaped plan includes a central living room and wings of one-room depth. The western wing is comprised of two main bedrooms and a bathroom and the eastern portion of the floor plan includes a kitchen and maid's quarters with a bathroom. Significant interior features of the house include an intact floor plan with a linear circulation pattern, bathroom fixtures, and extensive custom designed built-in furniture. The subject building was designed by master architect Richard J. Neutra (1892-1970) with P. Pfisterer listed as a collaborator. Neutra, an internationally recognized architect, is recognized for his significant contributions to the advancement of the Modern architecture in Los Angeles. Born in Vienna in 1892, Neutra received his architectural education in Europe under the guidance of Adolf Leos and worked for Erich Mendelsohn in Berlin before immigrating to the United States in 1923. After working briefly for Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin, in 1925, Neutra moved to Los Angeles where he collaborated with Rudolf Schindler on numerous projects including the Lovell Beach House (1926). He subsequently developed his own practice and went on to design numerous buildings embodying the International Style, twelve of which are designated as Historic Cultural Monuments (HCM), including the Lovell Heath House (HCM #123; 1929) and the Richard and Dian VOL Research House (HCM #640; 1966). At the time of the Barsha residence commission in the 1930s, Neutra's international reputation had already been recognized. The Barsha House appears to be a significant and important record of 302 N. Mesa Rd. CHC-201 0-80-HCM Page 3 of4 Neutra's work during the late 1930s and shares many of the design details used in his other buildings of the period. The proposed monument was constructed in 1938 for film producer and director, Leon Barsha. The building is not on its original site. It was moved from 4859 Westpark in North Hollywood

  • 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.

Tom Sitton was appointed project facilitator in 1974 and worked with various historical societies to complete survey forms. From 1976 to 1977, the museum project operated through a grant awarded by the state Office of Historic Preservation, which allowed the hiring of three graduate students for the completion of 500 surveys, taking site photographs, as well as to help write eighteen nominations for the National Register of Historic Places (three of which were historic districts). The project concluded in 1978. Preferred Citation: Historic Sites Surveys, Seaver Center for Western History Research, Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Special Formats: Photographs Scope and Content: The Los Angeles County historic site surveys were conducted from 1974 through 1978. Compilation of data for historic sites continued beyond 1978 until approximately 1996, by way of Sitton's efforts to add application sheets prepared for National Register of Historic Places nominations. These application forms provide a breadth of information to supplement the data found on the original survey forms.

  • Richard Neutra's Ambiguous Relationship to Luxury
    arts Article Richard Neutra’s Ambiguous Relationship to Luxury Matthias Brunner Institute for the History and Theory of Art and Architecture (ISA), Academy of Architecture, Università della Svizzera italiana, 6850 Mendrisio, Switzerland; [email protected]; Tel.: +41-58-666-5402 Received: 17 October 2018; Accepted: 22 October 2018; Published: 5 November 2018 Abstract: Many architects of the modern movement who, in theory, refused luxury nonetheless responded to the demand for it. Richard J. Neutra was one of them: Although he mostly rejected luxury in his writings, he gained fame for his skills in constructing luxurious residences. This paper explores how he handled such discrepancies. For this purpose, it relates his understanding of luxury to the German debates on the luxury of the interwar period and analyzes two of his most important expensive residences: the Lovell Health House (1927–1929) and the Kaufmann Desert House (1946–1947). It comes to the conclusion that Neutra took an intermediate position between socialist opponents and idealist proponents of luxury. While he acknowledged the importance of objectivity and scientific thinking and agreed to give priority to the improvement of the living conditions of the masses, he was nevertheless much interested in comfort, aesthetics, details, and individualization. Moreover, it draws attention to the fact that Neutra’s houses also reflected his clients’ relationship to luxury. The Kaufmanns asked for a luxurious background for leisure; the Lovells’ wanted a place for a disciplined life that lacked certain essential traits of luxury. Keywords: luxury in architecture; architect and owner; California modern architecture; transatlantic exchange in architecture; Richard J.

Riga is one of the largest centres of Art Nouveau, with more than a third of the buildings of its Central District;. The main street for Riga's Art Nouveau district is Elizabetes, which crosses Brivibas Boulevard, also Alberta and Strelnieku Streets. There are 800 Jugendstil buildings in Riga. Most were designed and built by Latvian architects. The Latvian Ethnographic Exhibition in 1896 and the Industrial and Handicrafts Exhibition in 1901, which commemorated the city's 700th anniversary were dominated by pavilions designed in the new style. Within three years, Art Nouveau would become the only design style used in construction, adopted in the main by the new generation of architects who graduated from the Riga Polytechnic Institute. Buildings built at the beginning of the century in the city's medieval centre and on Alberta iela, most of which were designed by the Russian architect Eisenstein and the German architects Scheffel and Scheel. The floral, geometric and sculptural motifs decorating these buildings create rhythms that are typical of eclectic architecture.
