Life and Human Habitat/Mensch und Wohnen

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from the introduction:

Neutra, the architect and the artist, manages to perform a rare work of education by his conduct, his self-restraint as to form, joined with a purely motivated care for the human. First lonesome, he has been able to arouse in many others creative impulses and "concurrence" in ever farther-reaching circles. He has achieved solution of the physiologically difficult problem of "acceptance" by his contemporaries of his design for living, which does not consider merely traditions of our comparatively recent historical past but also our endless and great organic heritage. This approach to building will become convincing not only in the many places where Neutra has labored, but world-wide. The pictures speak more impressively than the printed word for his incomparable manner of implanting houses into the "inner and outer nature" and for his special care to secure privacy and intimacy, combined with a friendly outlook on the green of a garden, even on very limited sites. If architecture means physiology applied with utmost sympathy, there are no examples easier to understand than Neutra's houses.

Presented in parallel English and German, with some sections in English only.
