“Los Angeles’s modernist architecture is defined by the city’s
climate, opulence and clash of cultures…Thomas Hine’s new
Architecture of the Sun: Los Angeles Modernism, 1900-1970 (Rizzoli)
is a thorough study of the work of Schindler, Neutra, Wright and
the inimitable John Lautner. It is also a study in fine living.
Chilled cocktail, anyone?” ~Playboy
"If you coveted the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Ennis House in Los
Angeles we wrote about last year, but didn't quite have the $15
million asking price, you should pick up a copy of Architecture of
the Sun. The weighty tome, being published later this month by
Rizzoli for $95, focuses on Los Angeles' many fine modernist
masterworks built from 1900–1970." ~Luxist.com
