	John Lautner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		'Fashion', for John Lautner as for George Bernard Shaw, was 'nothing but an induced epidemic.' The best-known of Frank Lloyd Wright's pupils, Lautner was a big man, built like a bear, but with a warm and friendly handshake.
		Lautner's first house, built by himself for his small family in 1940, was quite Wrightian, as were the next few.
		This is best seen in his use of structure, something which could characterise a Lautner, from the memorable single column of the Chemosphere (Hollywood, 1960) to the vast, oversailing roofs of the Bob Hope House (Palm Springs, 1979), originally conceived with Felix Candela.

	Mars is here -- flying high in SoCal, famed architect John Lautner was out there
		Architect John Lautner learned at the elbow of Frank Lloyd Wright that boxy buildings were good only for jails and animal pens, so he created living room walls that swung open to become outside decks and houses in the shape of spaceships, with head-spinning views.
		It's "the most urban of Lautner's houses," according to Alan Hess, author of "The Architecture of John Lautner" (Rizzoli, $30), which was reprinted this year.
		Lautner's approach to building the dome-shaped two-story home was to walk around its 35-by-80-foot lot, which had nothing on it except a volleyball net.

		The sleek, octagonal house, perhaps the boldest work by the singular architect John Lautner, is considered a masterpiece of California Modernism and is beloved by cultists of midcentury design.
		Alan Hess, an architectural historian and author of "The Architecture of John Lautner," considers Chemosphere as perfect an expression of Southland culture as Greene and Greene's Gamble House, Eames House and the finest work of Neutra and R.M. Schindler.
		Lautner, a brilliant but reputedly prickly man, sketched a bold vertical line, a cross, and a curve above it.

		Before Frank Gehry and Thom Mayne developed a new architectural language, there was John Lautner, who apprenticed with Frank Lloyd Wright, came to Los Angeles in 1938 and practiced here until his death in 1994 at age 83.
		Jobs were spasmodic, and his clients' ambitions often outran their budgets, but he was able to create a more adventurous body of work amid the visual chaos of Southern California than he could have in a more refined or orderly environment.
		For six decades Lautner was ignored by the pundits of taste and even by John Entenza, the influential editor of Arts and Architecture magazine, who commissioned Case Study houses from orthodox Modernists in the 1940s and 1950s.

		That's when, in May 2004, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft announced that Pearlman's grandson, Adam Yahiye Gadahn, was part of a group of Islamic fundamentalists being sought by the FBI for questioning because of ties to al-Qaida.

		Perhaps Lautner's best known building is the Malin House of 1960, or simply the Chemosphere.
		Silvertop, as it is lovingly known, with a cantilevered driveway and swimming pool, is a cascade of projecting forms: it was several years in the building because of difficulties in obtaining permits for its unorthodox structure.
		The use of space is daring and inventive, but never at the expense of the human needs central to Lautner's view of architecture.
