About this title

Synopsis

�The spirit of Schindler warms the works of all of us who were touched by his life.�

�Frank O. Gehry

�He is the most important architect in California of his day and deserves highly the attention given to him at last by his hometown, Vienna.�

�Philip Johnson

With such masterworks as the Schindler-Chace House and the Lovell Beach House in California, the Vienna-born modernist R. M. Schindler (1887�1953) is recognized as one of the most innovative architects of the 20th century. Nearly 50 years after his death, admiration for his breathtakingly original houses and apartment buildings is at an all-time peak.
Containing many never-published drawings and photographs and spanning Schindler�s early years in Vienna, his apprenticeship with Frank Lloyd Wright, and his bold contributions to West Coast modernism, this book�which accompanies the first major Schindler retrospective�offers the most comprehensive view of his genius to date.

Shipping Terms

We use the trusty old -- ahem -- USPS for domestic shipments unless otherwise requested and charge the current rate plus $1 for handling. We're in a very small town but if you request a different shipping method we'll try to honor that. Overseas Priority flat-rate envelopes begin at US$40.70 (with $4 handling charge included), medium flat-rate boxes are US$75.75 (with $4 handling charge included). All quoted shipping costs are based on a 4-pound package. The costs quoted for international shipping and handling should certainly be considered good-faith estimates ONLY. International shipments will be sent at the most cost-effective method possible. If the actual cost is reduced, we will not notify you. If it needs to be increased, we will contact you through ABEbooks and request an increase to cover our costs, which include postage materials and time. WE DO NOT MAKE MONEY ON SHIPPING!
