From the rear cover

This book establishes R.M. Schindler's Kings Road House amongst the icons of modernist housing--as crucial as Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, or Frank Lloyd Wright to the story of twentieth-century residential design. Weaving together an impressive blend of primary sources, Sweeney and Sheine illuminate heretofore unknown or neglected stories regarding Schindler's life, his relationship with his mentors--most notably, Wright himself--and the development of his unique theories about space. These essays will interest both scholars and practitioners of architecture as well as readers wishing to learn more about the development of architectural modernism in general."--J. Philip Gruen, School of Design and Construction, Washington State University.
