Summary:

Architect Richard Neutra (b. Austria 1892, lived and worked in the United States since 1923 - d. Germany 1970) is well known for his glamorous homes in Southern California. But this iconic architect of modernity had another, lesser-known side: his concern for social architecture. In this book, the author links Neutra's interest in the design of schools, hospitals and housing and her work in Puerto Rico and subsequent trips to Latin America. He also identifies the importance of his experiences in southern countries for his Californian work.
