Arhitektura: modernistički pogled / Richard Rogers ; [prevodilac Dejan Vlaškalić] Beograd : D. Vlaškalić, 1996 ([Beograd] : Kolorgraf) 63 str. : ilustr. ; 21 cm Edicija Keystone EXTRA RETKO Richard George Rogers, Baron Rogers of Riverside CH FRIBA FCSD FREng RA (born 23 July 1933) is a British architect noted for his modernist and functionalist designs in high-tech architecture. Rogers is perhaps best known for his work on the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the Lloyd`s building and Millennium Dome both in London, the Senedd in Cardiff, and the European Court of Human Rights building in Strasbourg. He is a winner of the RIBA Gold Medal, the Thomas Jefferson Medal, the RIBA Stirling Prize, the Minerva Medal and Pritzker Prize. He is a Senior Partner at Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, previously known as the Richard Rogers Partnership. Early life and career Lloyd`s building in 1991 Richard Rogers was born in Florence (Tuscany) in 1933 into an Anglo-Italian family. His father, William Nino Rogers (1906–1993), was the cousin of Italian architect Ernesto Nathan Rogers. His ancestors moved from Sunderland to Venice in about 1800, later settling in Trieste, Milan and Florence. In 1939 William Nino Rogers decided to come back to England.[2] Upon moving to England, Richard Rogers went to St Johns School, Leatherhead. Rogers did not excel academically, which made him believe that he was `stupid because he could not read or memorize his school work`[3] and as a consequence he stated that he became `very depressed`.[3] He wasn`t able to read until the age of 11,[4] and it was not until after he had his first child that he realised that he was dyslexic.[3] After leaving St Johns School, he undertook a foundation course at Epsom School of Art[5] (now University for the Creative Arts) before going into National Service between 1951 and 1953.[2] He then attended the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, where he gained the Architectural Association`s Diploma (AA Dipl) from 1954 until 1959, subsequently graduating with a master`s degree (M Arch) from the Yale School of Architecture in 1962 on a Fulbright Scholarship.[3][6] While studying at Yale, Rogers met fellow architecture student Norman Foster and planning student Su Brumwell. After leaving Yale he joined Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in New York.[4] On returning to England in 1963, he, Norman Foster and Brumwell set up architectural practice as Team 4 with Wendy Cheeseman (Brumwell later married Rogers, Cheeseman married Foster).[7] Rogers and Foster earned a reputation for what was later termed by the media high-tech architecture.[8] By 1967, Team 4 had split up, but Rogers continued to collaborate with Su Rogers, along with John Young and Laurie Abbott.[9] In early 1968 he was commissioned to design a house and studio for Humphrey Spender near Maldon, Essex, a glass cube framed with I-beams. He continued to develop his ideas of prefabrication and structural simplicity to design a Wimbledon house for his parents. This was based on ideas from his conceptual Zip-Up House,[10] such as the use of standardized components based on refrigerator panels to make energy-efficient buildings. Pompidou Centre Rogers subsequently joined forces with Italian architect Renzo Piano, a partnership that was to prove fruitful. His career leapt forward when he, Piano and Gianfranco Franchini won the design competition for the Pompidou Centre in July 1971, alongside a team from Ove Arup that included Irish engineer Peter Rice.[11] This building established Rogers`s trademark of exposing most of the building`s services (water, heating and ventilation ducts, and stairs) on the exterior, leaving the internal spaces uncluttered and open for visitors to the centre`s art exhibitions. This style, dubbed `Bowellism` by some critics, was not universally popular at the time the centre opened in 1977, but today the Pompidou Centre is a widely admired Parisian landmark. Rogers revisited this inside-out style with his design for London`s Lloyd`s building, completed in 1986 – another controversial design which has since become a famous and distinctive landmark in its own right. Later career Richard Rogers in 2013 After working with Piano, Rogers established the Richard Rogers Partnership along with Marco Goldschmied, Mike Davies and John Young in 1977.[12] This became Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners in 2007. The firm maintains offices in London, Shanghai and Sydney. Rogers has devoted much of his later career to wider issues surrounding architecture, urbanism, sustainability and the ways in which cities are used. One early illustration of his thinking was an exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1986, entitled `London As It Could Be`, which also featured the work of James Stirling and Rogers` former partner Norman Foster. This exhibition made public a series of proposals for transforming a large area of central London, subsequently dismissed as impractical by the city`s authorities. In 1995, he became the first architect to deliver the BBC`s annual Reith Lectures. This series of five talks, titled Sustainable City, were later adapted into the book Cities for a Small Planet (Faber and Faber: London 1997, ISBN 0-571-17993-2). The BBC made these lectures available to the public for download in July 2011.[13] The Senedd building Rogers (left) with Queen Elizabeth II and Sue Essex AM (right), at the opening of the Senedd building The steps leading up to the Senedd In 1998, he set up the Urban Task Force at the invitation of the British government, to help identify causes of urban decline and establish a vision of safety, vitality and beauty for Britain`s cities. This work resulted in a white paper, Towards an Urban Renaissance, outlining more than 100 recommendations for future city designers. Rogers also served for several years as chair of the Greater London Authority panel for Architecture and Urbanism. He has been chair of the board of Trustees of The Architecture Foundation. From 2001 to 2008 he was chief advisor on architecture and urbanism to Mayor of London Ken Livingstone; he was subsequently asked to continue his role as an advisor by new mayor Boris Johnson in 2008. He stood down from the post in October 2009.[14] Rogers has also served as an advisor to two mayors of Barcelona on urban strategies. Amidst this extra-curricular activity, Rogers has continued to create controversial and iconic works. Perhaps the most famous of these, the Millennium Dome, was designed by the Rogers practice in conjunction with engineering firm Buro Happold and completed in 1999. It was the subject of fierce political and public debate over the cost and contents of the exhibition it contained; the building itself cost £43 million.[15] In May 2006, Rogers` practice was chosen as the architect of Tower 3 of the new World Trade Center in New York City, replacing the old World Trade Center which was destroyed in the September 11 attacks. Some of Rogers`s recent plans have failed to get off the ground. The practice was appointed to design the replacement to the Central Library in the Eastside of Birmingham; however, his plan was shelved for financial reasons. City Park Gate, the area adjacent to the land the library would have stood on, is now being designed by Ken Shuttleworth`s Make Architects.

100 + 3 Great Danish Industrial Designs: ID Prisen 1965-85 Odlična Kao nova Bernsen, Jens (editor) Published by Danish Design Council, U.S.A. (1985) Danish design is a style of functionalistic design and architecture that was developed in mid-20th century. Influenced by the German Bauhaus school, many Danish designers used the new industrial technologies, combined with ideas of simplicity and functionalism to design buildings, furniture and household objects, many of which have become iconic and are still in use and production. Prominent examples are the Egg chair, the PH lamps and the Sydney Opera House (Australia). Arne Jacobsen`s clock in the Glostrup Town Hall, Glostrup, Denmark History Edit See also: Danish modern The Danish Culture Canon credits Thorvald Bindesbøll (1846–1908) with early contributions to design in the areas of ceramics, jewellery, bookbinding, silver and furniture although he is known in the rest of the world for creating the Carlsberg logo (1904), still in use today.[1] The Canon also includes Knud V. Engelhardt (1882–1931) for a more industrial approach, especially in the rounded contours of his electric tramcar designs which were widely copied.[2] In the area of textiles, Marie Gudme Leth (1895–1997) brought the screen printing process to Denmark, opening a factory in 1935 which allowed her colourful patterns to be manufactured on an industrial basis.[3] August Sandgren introduced functionalism in the design of his masterful bookbindings. The forms and materials of Hans Wegner`s Wishbone Chair are representative of the movement`s aesthetic In the late 1940s, shortly after the end of the Second World War, conditions in Denmark were ideally suited to success in design. The emphasis was on furniture but architecture, silver, ceramics, glass and textiles also benefitted from the trend. Denmark`s late industrialisation combined with a tradition of high-quality craftsmanship formed the basis of gradual progress towards industrial production. After the end of the war, Europeans were keen to find novel approaches such as the light wood furniture from Denmark. Last but not least, support in Denmark for freedom of individual expression assisted the cause.[4] The newly established Furniture School at the Royal Danish Academy of Art played a considerable part in the development of furniture design. Kaare Klint taught functionalism based on the size and proportions of objects, wielding considerable influence. Hans J. Wegner, who had been trained as a cabinetmaker, contributed with a unique sense of form, especially in designing chairs.[5] As head of FDB Møbler, Børge Mogensen designed simple and robust objects of furniture for the average Danish family. Finn Juhl demonstrated an individualistic approach in designing chairs with an appealing but functional look. In the early 1950s, American design also influenced Danish furniture. The American Charles Eames designed and manufactured chairs of moulded wood and steel pipes. These encouraged Arne Jacobsen to design his worldfamous Ant Chair, Denmark`s first industrially manufactured chair. Furthermore, as Shaker furniture—and especially its reputation for stripped down chairs—began to be more and more known abroad, it also influenced Danish designers.[6] Poul Kjærholm, Verner Panton and Nanna Ditzel followed a few years later, continuing the successful story of Danish design. Kjærholm worked mainly in steel and leather, Panton left Denmark during the 1960s to continue designing imaginative but highly unconventional plastic chairs while Nanna Ditzel, who also had a strongly individualistic approach, was successful in helping to renew Danish furniture design in the 1980s. Modern trends Edit Bernadotte`s thermos jug, 2004 During the 1970s, Verner Panton made some of his most important designs, including the Pantonova and the 1-2-3 System. Danish furniture design during the 1980s did not include prominent contributions. By contrast, industrial designers began to prosper, making use of principles such as focus on the user, as well as attention to materials and to detail. For example, there are well known Danish designers, like Tobias Jacobsen (the grandson of Arne Jacobsen), who focused on the single elements of a violin when creating his chair `Vio` or on a boomerang when designing his eponymous sideboard.[7] The Bernadotte & Bjørn studio, established in 1950, was the first to specialise in industrial design, with an emphasis on office machines, domestic appliances and functional articles such as the thermos jug. The electronics manufacturer Bang & Olufsen, in collaboration with Bernadotte & Bjørn and later with Jacob Jensen and David Lewis, went on to excel in modern design work. Around the same time, the Stelton company collaborated with Arne Jacobsen and Erik Magnussen to produce their iconic vacuum jug, a huge international success. Another successful design field is medical technology. Danish design companies like 3PART, Designit and CBD have worked in this area with individual designers such as Steve McGugan and Anders Smith. In 2002 the Danish Government and the City of Copenhagen launched an effort to establish a world event for design in Copenhagen. Originally understood as a tool for branding traditional Danish design, the non-profit organization INDEX: shifted focus after worldwide research and coined the concept of Design to Improve Life, which rapidly became celebrated in Denmark and around the world. The organization now hands out the biggest design award in the world biannual in Copenhagen, tours large scale outdoor exhibition around the world, run educational program as well as design labs and hosts a global network.[citation needed] Today, there is strong focus on design in Denmark as industry increasingly appreciates the importance of design in the business environment. In addition, as part of its trade and industry policy, the Danish government has launched the DesignDenmark initiative which aims to restore Denmark to the international design elite.[8] Architecture Edit Utzon`s Sydney Opera House, 1973 See also: Architecture of Denmark Modern architecture has also contributed to the concept of Danish design. Århus City Hall, Århus, Denmark Arne Jacobsen was not just a furniture designer but one of the leading architects of his times. Among his achievements are the Bellevue Theater and restaurant, Klampenborg (1936), the Århus City Hall (with Erik Møller; 1939–42) and the SAS Royal Hotel (1958–60).[9] Jørn Utzon (1918–2008), Denmark`s most widely recognized architect, is remembered for his expressionist Sydney Opera House (1966) and the later Bagsværd Church (1976) with its wavy concrete roof.[10] Henning Larsen (b. 1925) is the architect who designed the boldly modern Copenhagen Opera House on the island of Holmen which was completed in 2005.[11] Danish architecture is currently in a new-wave era, not receiving more attention since the golden age of Arne Jacobsen and Jørn Utzon, being focused on function and concept rather than aesthetics and an impeccable finish.[12] Bjarke Ingels of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and Dan Stubbergaard`s architectural firm Cobe who met at the former drawing office Plot,[13] are both part of the new wave. Mentionable projects are BIG`s Amager Bakke (Copenhill) and Cobe`s Nørreport Station.[14] Recent achievements Edit Today, the concept of Danish design is thriving in an ever-wider number of fields. Among recent highlights are: The Museum of Modern Art in New York has chosen to outfit 95% of its new Yoshio Taniguchi-designed home with furniture by Danish design company GUBI. The Danish Zenvo ST1 supercar.[15][16] The Evita Peroni suite of women`s accessories which now has some 300 stores in 30 countries.[17] The Halifax Central Library in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, was designed by the Danish architectural firm Schmidt Hammer Lassen.

Esther McCoy - Richard Neutra Masters of the world architecture George Braziller INC, New York, 1960. Mek povez, 128 strana, ilustrovano. Ex libris (pecat) i potpis bivseg vlasnika RETKO! Rihard Nojtra Рихард Јозеф Нојтра (нем. Richard Joseph Neutra;[1] Беч, 8. април 1892 — Вупертал, 16. април 1970) је био значајан аустријско-амерички архитект, пре свега активан у јужној Калифорнији у САД, а важи за једног од најзначајнијих представника модерне архитектуре.[2][3] Живот и дело Зграда Treetops, коју је започео Рихард Нојтра а 1980. завршио његов син Дион Кућа Кауфманових у Палм Спрингсу у Калифорнији Рихард Нојтра студирао је на Високој техничкој школи у Бечу као ђак Адолф Лоса и био је под утицајем Ото Вагнера. Године 1917. дипломирао је на овој школи и отишао у Берлин где је сарађивао са архитектом Ерих Менделсоном. На свом првом већем путовању у иностранство које је предузео са млађим сином Зигмунд Фројда упознао је жену свога живота, певачицу Целестин Дион Нидерман. Био је фасциниран архитектуром у САД а нарочито делима Френка Лојда Рајта и одлучио је се пресели у САД. Прво је отишао у Чикаго, затим у Таљезин да би се сусрео са Рајтом, али је видео плакат „California Call You!“, који је на њега оставио јак утисак, тако да се одлучује за југ Калифорније. Године 1929. добио је и америчко држављанство. У Лос Анђелесу је важио за представника интернационалног стила у архитектури у САД. Градио је виле и приватне куће које је уклапао у околину и пејзаж. Нојтра се заинтересовао за пејзажну архитектуру и у току студија је упознао пејзажног архитекту за хортикултуру Густава Амана с којим се спријатељио. Када је пројектовао виле у Швајцарској 1960-их година, радио је са пејзажним архитектом Ернстом Крамером који је био ученик Густава Амана. Међу значајне Нојтрине ране радове спада кућа за породицу Лавел; то је чиста скелетна конструкција у стилу европске традиције чији је утемељивач био Адолф Лос. Од 1949. до 1964. пројектовао је, у сарадњи са Роберт Александром, школске зграде, цркве, пословне зграде и музеје. Од 1960. је започео сарадњу са сином Дионом Нојтром. У пројекте школа са заобљеним основама Нојтра је укључивао и пејзаж. За њега је карактеристично да о архитектури говори као о примењеној физиологији. У избору материјала одлучивао се за природне, а најчешће је користио дрво. Намештај за седење је прилагођавао облицима људског тела као и Алвар Алто, Елијел Саринен и други напредни архитекти.[4] У својим радовима Нојтра је показао да је усвојио модеран калифорнијски стил специјализујући се на уклапање објеката у пејзаж и баште и инспирисао се нарочито контрастом геометријских форми и природе и створио утисак који је нарочито био изражен на фотографијама његових изведених објеката које је фотографисао Јулијус Шулман. У пројектима како Рајта тако и Нојтре значајну улогу има водена површина. Његове представе су се уклапали у захтеве његових инвеститора. Једна од најпознатијих Нојтриних зграда је зграда за Едгара Кауфмана („Kaufmann Desert House“) из 1946. која је уклопљена у пејзаже у близину Палм Спрингса у Калифорнији. Године 1952. пројектовао је „Moore House“ у Охаи („Ојаи“) у коме доминира рефлектујући мали рибњак и по речима његовог сина Диона зграда плива на воденој башти. Рихард Нојтра је преминуо 1970. у Вупелталу. Његов рад наставио је његов син Дион, поготово у 1990- тим годинама. Нојтра је почасни грађанин Беча и у делу града који се назива Леополдау постоји улица са његовим именом. Избор из његових дела Lovell House, Лос Анђелес, 1927 — 1929. Neutra House, Лос Ангелес, 1933.

Пословна зграда Нојтра је наведена у Националном регистру историјских места.[5] Године 1980, Нојтрина удовица је донирала Ван дер Лиув зграду (VDL истраживачка кућа), тада процењену на 207.500 долара, Државном политехничком универзитету Калифорније, Помона (Кал Поли Помона) да је користе професори и студенти универзитетског Колеџа за дизајн животне средине.[6][7] Године 2011, Крониш (1954) на 9439 Сансет булевару на Беверли Хилсу израђена по Нојтрином дизајну продата је за 12,8 милиона долара.[8] Године 2009, изложба „Ричард Нојтра, архитекта: скице и цртежи“ у Централној библиотеци Лос Анђелеса представљала је избор Нојтриних путописних скица, цртежа фигура и приказа зграда. Изложбу о раду архитекте у Европи између 1960. и 1979. године поставила је MARTa Херфорд, Немачка. Кауфманову пустињску кућу је обновила агенција Marmol Radziner + Associates средином 1990-их.[9] Фамилија слова Нојтрафејс, коју је дизајнирао Кристијан Шварц за House Industries, заснована је на архитектури и принципима дизајна Ричарда Нојтре. Године 1977, постхумно је награђен AIA златном медаљом, а 2015. награђен је Златном палмином звездом на Стази звезда у Палм Спрингсу у Калифорнији.[10] Richard Joseph Neutra (/ˈnɔɪtrə/ NOI-tra;[1] April 8, 1892 – April 16, 1970) was an Austrian-American architect. Living and building for most of his career in Southern California, he came to be considered a prominent and important modernist architect.[2][3] His most notable works include the Kaufmann Desert House, in Palm Springs, California. Biography Neutra was born in Leopoldstadt, the second district of Vienna, Austria Hungary, on April 8, 1892, into a wealthy Jewish family. His Jewish-Hungarian father Samuel Neutra (1844–1920),[4][5] was a proprietor of a metal foundry, and his mother, Elizabeth `Betty` Glaser[6] Neutra (1851–1905) was a member of the IKG Wien. Richard had two brothers, who also emigrated to the United States, and a sister, Josephine Theresia `Pepi` Weixlgärtner, an artist who married the Austrian art historian Arpad Weixlgärtner and who later emigrated to Sweden. Her work can be seen at the Modern Art Museum in Stockholm.[7] Neutra attended the Sophiengymnasium in Vienna until 1910. He studied under Max Fabiani and Karl Mayreder at the Vienna University of Technology (1910–18) and also attended the private architecture school of Adolf Loos. In 1912, he undertook a study trip to Italy and the Balkans with Ernst Ludwig Freud (son of Sigmund Freud).[citation needed] In June 1914, Neutra`s studies were interrupted when he was ordered to Trebinje, where he served as an lieutenant in the artillery until the end of World War I. Dione Neutra recalled her husband Richard`s hatred of the retribution against the Serbs in an interview conducted in 1978 after his death: `He talked about the people he met [i.e. in Trebinje] … how his commander was a sadist, who was able to play out his sadistic tendencies…. He was just a small town clerk in Vienna, but then he became his commander.`[8] Neutra took a leave in 1917 to return to the Technische Hochschule to take his final examinations.[9] After World War I, Neutra moved to Switzerland, where he worked with the landscape architect Gustav Ammann. In 1921, he served briefly as city architect in the German town of Luckenwalde, and later in the same year he joined the office of Erich Mendelsohn in Berlin. Neutra contributed to the firm`s competition entry for a new commercial center for Haifa, Palestine (1922), and to the Zehlendorf housing project in Berlin (1923).[10] He married Dione Niedermann, the daughter of an architect, in 1922. They had three sons, Frank L (1924–2008), Dion (1926–2019), who became an architect and his father`s partner, and Raymond Richard Neutra (1939–), a physician and environmental epidemiologist. Richard Neutra moved to the United States by 1923 and became a naturalized citizen in 1929. He worked briefly for Frank Lloyd Wright before accepting an invitation from Rudolf Schindler, a close friend from his university days, to work and live communally in Schindler`s Kings Road House in California. Neutra`s first works in California were both in the realm of landscape architecture: namely, the grounds of the Lovell Beach House (1922–25), in Newport Beach, which Schindler had designed for Philip Lovell; and a pergola and wading pool for the complex that Wright and Schindler had designed for Aline Barnsdall on Olive Hill (1925), in Hollywood. Schindler and Neutra would go on to collaborate on an entry for the League of Nations Competition (1926–27); in the same year, they formed a firm with the planner Carol Aronovici (1881–1957), called the Architectural Group for Industry and Commerce (AGIC). Neuatra subsequently developed his own practice and went on to design numerous buildings embodying the International Style, 12 of which are designated as Historic Cultural Monuments (HCM), including the Lovell Health House (HCM #123; 1929), for the same client as the Lovell Beach House, and the Richard and Dion Neutra VDL Research House (HCM #640; 1966).[10] In California, he became celebrated for rigorously geometric but airy structures that epitomized a West Coast version of mid-century modern residential design. His clients included Edgar J. Kaufmann, (who had commissioned Wright to design Fallingwater, in Pennsylvania), Galka Scheyer, and Walter Conrad Arensberg. In the early 1930s, Neutra`s Los Angeles practice trained several young architects who went on to independent success, including Gregory Ain, Harwell Hamilton Harris, and Raphael Soriano. In 1932, he tried to move to the Soviet Union, to help design workers` housing that could be easily constructed, as a means of helping with the housing shortage.[11] In 1932, Neutra was included in the seminal MoMA exhibition on modern architecture, curated by Philip Johnson and Henry-Russell Hitchcock. From 1943 to 1944, Neutra served as a visiting professor of design at Bennington College in Bennington, Vermont. In 1949 Neutra formed a partnership with Robert E. Alexander that lasted until 1958, which finally gave him the opportunity to design larger commercial and institutional buildings. In 1955, the United States Department of State commissioned Neutra to design a new embassy in Karachi. Neutra`s appointment was part of an ambitious program of architectural commissions to renowned architects, which included embassies by Walter Gropius in Athens, Edward Durrell Stone in New Delhi, Marcel Breuer in The Hague, Josep Lluis Sert in Baghdad, and Eero Saarinen in London. In 1965, Neutra formed a partnership with his son Dion Neutra.[10] Between 1960 and 1970, Neutra created eight villas in Europe, four in Switzerland, three in Germany, and one in France. Prominent clients in this period included Gerd Bucerius, publisher of Die Zeit, as well as figures from commerce and science. His work was also part of the architecture event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics.[12] Richard Joseph Neutra died on April 16, 1970, at the age of 78.[13] Architectural style He was known for the attention he gave to defining the real needs of his clients, regardless of the size of the project, in contrast to other architects eager to impose their artistic vision on a client. Neutra sometimes used detailed questionnaires to discover his client`s needs, much to their surprise. His domestic architecture was a blend of art, landscape, and practical comfort.[citation needed] In a 1947 article for the Los Angeles Times, `The Changing House,` Neutra emphasizes the `ready-for-anything` plan – stressing an open, multifunctional plan for living spaces that are flexible, adaptable and easily modified for any type of life or event.[14] Neutra had a sharp sense of irony. In his autobiography, Life and Shape, he included a playful anecdote about an anonymous movie producer-client who electrified the moat around the house that Neutra designed for him and had his Persian butler fish out the bodies in the morning and dispose of them in a specially designed incinerator. This was a much-embellished account of an actual client, Josef von Sternberg, who indeed had a moated house but not an electrified one.[citation needed] The novelist/philosopher Ayn Rand was the second owner of the Von Sternberg House in the San Fernando Valley (now destroyed). A photo of Neutra and Rand at the home was taken by Julius Shulman.[citation needed] Neutra`s early watercolors and drawings, most of them of places he traveled (particularly his trips to the Balkans in WWI) and portrait sketches, showed influence from artists such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele etc. Neutra`s sister Josefine, who could draw, is cited as developing Neutra`s inclination towards drawing.[citation needed] Legacy Neutra`s son Dion has kept the Silver Lake offices designed and built by his father open as `Richard and Dion Neutra Architecture` in Los Angeles. The Neutra Office Building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[14] In 1980, Neutra`s widow donated the Van der Leeuw House (VDL Research House), then valued at $207,500, to California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona) to be used by the university`s College of Environmental Design faculty and students.[15][16] In 2011, the Neutra-designed Kronish House (1954) at 9439 Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills sold for $12.8 million.[17] In 2009, the exhibition `Richard Neutra, Architect: Sketches and Drawings` at the Los Angeles Central Library featured a selection of Neutra`s travel sketches, figure drawings and building renderings. An exhibition on the architect`s work in Europe between 1960 and 1979 was mounted by the MARTa Herford, Germany.[citation needed] The Kaufmann Desert House was restored by Marmol Radziner + Associates in the mid-1990s.[18] The typeface family Neutraface, designed by Christian Schwartz for House Industries, was based on Richard Neutra`s architecture and design principles.[citation needed] In 1977, he was posthumously awarded the AIA Gold Medal, and in 2015, he was honored with a Golden Palm Star on the Walk of Stars in Palm Springs, California.[19] Lost works Neutra`s 14,000 sqf `Windshield` house built on Fishers Island, NY for John Nicholas Brown II burned down on New Year`s Eve 1973 and was not rebuilt.[20] The 1935 Von Sternberg House in Northridge, California was demolished in 1972.[21] Neutra`s 1960 Fine Arts Building at California State University, Northridge was demolished in 1997, three years after suffering severe damage in the 1994 Northridge earthquake.[22][23] The 1962 Maslon House in Rancho Mirage, California, was demolished in 2002.[24] Neutra`s Cyclorama Building at Gettysburg was demolished by the National Park Service in March 2013.[25] The Slavin House (1956) in Santa Barbara, California was destroyed in a fire in 2001.[26] Selected works See also: Category:Richard Neutra buildings Miller House, Palm Springs Jardinette Apartments, 1928, 5128 Marathon Street, Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, California Lovell House, 1929, Los Angeles, California Van der Leeuw House (VDL Research House), 1932, Los Angeles, California Mosk House, 1933, 2742 Hollyridge Drive, Hollywood, California Nathan and Malve Koblick House, 1933, 98 Fairview Avenue, Atherton, California Universal-International Building (Laemmle Building), 1933, 6300 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California Scheyer House, 1934, 1880 Blue Heights Drive, Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, California William and Melba Beard House (with Gregory Ain), 1935, 1981 Meadowbrook, Altadena California Military Academy, 1935, Culver City, California Corona Avenue Elementary School, 1935, 3835 Bell Avenue, Bell, California Largent House, 1935, 49 Hopkins Avenue at the corner of Burnett Avenue, San Francisco.
