MAK Center for Art and Architecture at the Schindler House, Los Angeles

#BookstoreFriday time! The Architectural Guidebook to Los Angeles is a hit at the MAK Center bookstore. Click the product tag for more info about this awesome resource Or check out more about the book at our link in bio. The Architectural Guidebook to Los Angeles, hailed by many as the built L.A. opus, explores the manmade structures, gardens, parks, and other physical features of a fulgurous Los Angeles. With singular wit and brio, the authors artfully steward reade...rs through all regions and styles, from the Spanish Mexican Period to Postmodern, American Take-over to High Tech, and Beaux-Arts to Craftsman. Sites covered begin with the missions of Spanish California and end with projects completed in 2017. #bookstore #architecture #laarchitecture #losangeles #guide #arch #schindler #modernism #modernarchitecture

How gorgeous is this arrangement from @krystalchang ? Specially made for our 99 Days Picnic Series, Krystal contributed her unique and careful touch to truly perfect the ambience for these special nights at the Schindler House. Link in bio to reserve your spot! Krystal described her work for us! She said: For these Flowers for Schindler, I drew inspiration from the Schindler House itself, with its pinwheel plan, connecting indoors to outdoors, and four rooms, one for ...each person to ‘express his or her individuality’ but coming together to create a whole. Flowers for Schindler is a modular floral installation with four spatial volumes that can be placed in different configurations. It uses industrial materials to unexpected effect. The flowers are meant to evoke a wildflower meadow, in dialogue with the rows of flowing grasses planted outside the house. Within the flowers, poppy and nigella pods, marigolds, grasses, sages, dried and bleached botanicals echo each other; a bit of outside transported inside." #floral #floraldesign #99daysofsummer #picnic #benefitseries #makcenter #schindler #modernarchitecture #architecture #design

Today in #MAKCenterArchives we are highlighting Jesse Weber’s 2005 exhibition at the MAK Center! Los Angeles based artist Jesse Weberknown for oversized, fiberglass abstract sculptures finished in condo-inspired stucco, fake wood grain, rusted polish or high gloss hot-rod greenproduced site-specific sculptures for the Schindler courtyards. The artist compared the pre-fabricated mid-century trailer homes of his native Tennessee to California Case Study houses, finding man...y similarities. He created dysfunctional elemental objects based on mnemonic translation of these highly charged aesthetic-political-socio-economic forms. This project attempted to rework tropes of modernist design, tracing origins to perverse abuses and misappropriations.

Summer Feature for #BookstoreFriday is Sun Seekers: The Cure of California by Lyra Kilston. Swipe for a sneak peek and visit link in bio to browse our full collection! "Since the mid-19th century, the idea of California has lured many waves of migrants. Here, writer and editor Lyra Kilston explores a less examined attraction: the region’s promise of better health. From ailing families seeking a miracle climate cure to iconoclasts and dropouts pursuing a remedy to socie...tal corruption, the abundance of sunshine and untamed nature around the small but growing Los Angeles area offered them refuge and inspiration. In the wild west of medical practice, eclectic nature-cure treatments gained popularity. The source for this trend can be traced to the mountains and cold-water springs of Europe, where early sanatoriums were built to offer the natural cures of sun, air, water and diet; this sanatorium architecture was exported to the West Coast from Central Europe, and began to impact other types of building."
