Lautner

John Lautner placed geometric houses on the hillsides, beaches and deserts of California, among them the mushroom-shaped Chemosphere House. His futuristic villas reflect the space age, a period of economic growth and confidence in progress, yet remain closely bound to the landscape around them. They count among the most original buildings of the 20th century.
