A marriage of fantasy, sculpture and the natural world, architect John Lautner’s visionary structures are icons of 20th c. SoCal architecture. The Hammer Museum presents the first major exhibition of his work in “Between Earth and Heaven: The Architecture of John Lautner.” With specially built large-scale models, digital animations and never-before- seen drawings, one can experience the internal spaces, project scale and construction processes of such modernist residences as the octagonal “Chemosphere” house.
“The Architect as an artist for human environment must see what produces and constitutes the essential greatness of our civilization – or man will be a statistic.” – John Lautner
