  Raphael Soriano (1907-88) was one of the early Case Study architects working in postwar Los Angeles and a talented advocate of the new building materials and construction techniques developed at the time.
Soriano was a significant member of this informal gang of architects that also included Charles and Ray Eames, Pierre Koenig, Eero Saarinen, Richard Neutra and Craig Ellwood.
Though not as familiar a name now, Soriano was a major influence on his colleagues and was rediscovered by today's practitioners for his innovative use of steel and aluminum and his early interest in low-cost, prefabricated structures.

Raphael Soriano (1907-1988) moved to Tiburon at the beginning of the 1950s and worked in the area until 1985, before moving back to Los Angeles.
Soriano's first steel frame house is dated 1946, two years before Mies Van der Rohe used steel frame in 1948 in the Lake Shore Drive's twin towers in Chicago.
Soriano's work ranged from commercial to residential, some of it located in downtown San Francisco, but no longer existing.

A year or two ago, we thought pitching wasn't going to be a problem with this team in the coming years, what with talented pitching prospects coming out our ears.
Raphael Soriano was just the head of the class.
A young M's pitching prospect injured?), most of our young arms showed they have a lot of seasoning before they'll be effective at the major-league level, and we traded our best pitcher last year.

When the architect, Raphael Soriano F.A.I.A. was commissioned to design the home, the most important feature was to have total assessability for Mrs Grossman’s Mother, Clementina, who was confined to a wheel chair.
The Grossmans live in a large, light-filled house that is perched in the hills overlooking Studio City, Calif. Designed in 1963 by the late Raphael Soriano, it was declared a historic/cultural monument by the city of Los Angeles in 1997.
As Soriano was known for designing modern-styled houses with flat roofs, an open plan and lots of glass, the Grossmans realized his proposal would be a radical departure from their conventional ranch house.

Wagener's detailed, clearly written, and exquisitely illustrated study of the work of the mid-twentieth-century architect Raphael Soriano is a paean to the vanished middle-class, egalitarian Los Angeles.
Soriano's work was the apotheosis of the Case Study House ideals.
But he was equally attentive to cost and to the need for easy and fast construction, and was hence imaginative and innovative in his frequent use of prefabricated, industrial, and off-the-shelf materials.

Raphael Soriano is one of the great heroes of postwar Californian architecture but a curmudgeonly character and a steadfast belief in a machine-based architecture led to his recent obscurity.
He makes good use of them – his initial chapter on the development of postwar American architecture is as good as I have read anywhere – but the main text, ‘Pioneering Steel Houses: 1935-1970’, lacks the immediacy which primary research would bring.
Wagener discovered Raphael Soriano ten years after I did, but by then, sadly, Soriano was dead.

Born in Rhodes, Soriano brought an outsider's perspective when he arrived in Los Angeles with little grasp of English in 1924, at the age of 17.
Soriano expertly combined two of World War II's technological innovations, aluminium and plywood, with advanced construction processes.
In 1953, weary of his persistent scrapes with the architecture establishment in Southern California, Soriano relocated to Tiburon, near San Francisco, where he designed and built housing for the maverick developer Joseph Eichler, as well as innovative aluminium housing and an office tower, and the IBM Research Laboratory in San Jose.

The earliest on that comes to mind is Raphael Soriano of the Seattle Mariners who "rehabed"the 2004 offseason and pitched a couple games in 2004 to realize that he needed surgery anyway.
Soriano is not expected to be back until the all star break 2005.

Raphael Soriano (1907-88) was one of the early Case Study architects working in postwar Los Angeles and a talented advocate of the new building materials and construction techniques developed at the time.
Of all the important pioneers of modern architecture in southern California, Soriano was one of the most inventive and idealistic, but least successful.
The second essay, entitle Pioneering Steel Houses 1935-1970 focuses on Soriano's career and his strong convictions of the steel frame used as a vehicle to meet the demand of the housing boom.

 Architectural Review, The: Raphael Soriano. . - Sad Soriano - book review
Access to the archives at CSPU Pomona, and the enthusiasm of the photographer Julius Shulman, himself a Soriano client, has allowed Wolfgang Wagener to produce a comprehensive and well-illustrated if rather unrevealing overview of his oeuvre.
He makes good use of them -- his initial chapter on the development of postwar American architecture is as good as I have read anywhere -- but the main text, 'Pioneering Steel Houses: 1935-1970', lacks the immediacy which primary research would bring.
For a man with such a zest for life -- 'Joan Crawford', he would say, 'now there was a woman -- this book is a small reward.

Featuring some of the most important architects of the region and generation--including Charles Eames, Craig Ellwood, A. Quincy Jones, Pierre Koenig, Richard Neutra, and Raphael Soriano--the program reflected the modernist goal of reinventing the house as a way of redefining living.
A number of the essayists in the book suggest that what made the houses distinctive and influential was not so much their International Style modernism as how that style was domesticated and scaled to the single-family house.
