Today, R. M. Schindlers Kings Road House is celebrated as an icon of early modern architecture, but this wasnt the case when it was finished in 1922. Though Schindler and his wife Pauline recognized its genius early on, its radical appearance wasand remainsincomprehensible to many. Lavishly illustrated with fortyfive new photographs, this book is an incisive examination of the house, placing it in the context of the architects career and clarifying its influence on modern architecture and its practitioners. Littleknown aspects of Schindlers life, his relationship with his mentors, and the development of his unique theories about space enrich the narrative.Robert Sweeney focuses on the construction of the house and the people who lived, worked, and performed there, demonstrating the buildings significance in the social history of Southern California. He includes new research on Schindlers educational and personal background in Vienna and a discussion of the critical influence of Pauline Schindler in formulating the social underpinnings of the house. Judith Sheines essay places the house in the context of Schindlers career, in which it established the basis of the spatial development of his work. She also examines the influence of the house on the work of numerous architects from Frank Lloyd Wright to Frank Gehry.
