In the last few years of his life he was unable to work, and his practice survived thanks to the unflagging support of his client James Goldstein and Lautner's partner and protégée Helena Arahuete.

A crucial early influence in Lautner's life was the construction of the family's idlyllic summer cabin, " Midgaard ", sited on a rock shelf on a remote headland on the shore on Lake Superior.

Lautner's first independent project was a low-cost $ 2500 one-bedroom frame house for the Springer family, built with his contractor friend Paul Speer, but this was to be the only product of their brief collaboration.

His first significant solo project was his own Los Angeles home, the Lautner House ( 1939 ), which helped to establish his name — it was the subject of Lautner's first article on his own work, published in the June – July edition of California Arts & Architcture, and it was featured in Home Beautiful where it was lauded by Henry-Russell Hitchcock as " the best house in the United States by an architect under thirty ".

The style was denigrated by East Coast critics and Lautner's reputation suffered ; as a result he became wary of talking to the press and it is notable that his 1986 UCLA oral history interviews include no references at all to these early projects.

Lautner's reputation was considerably restored by his groundbreaking design for the Leonard J. Malin Residence, also known as the " Chemosphere " ( 1960 ), which has become one of his best-known and most influential creations.

Arguably the pinnacle of Lautner's career, the vast ( 25, 000 sq. ft ) " Marbrisa " in Acapulco was built for Mexican supermarket magnate Jeronimo Arango in 1973 and was jointly designed by Lautner and Helena Arahuete during her first year with the firm.

* the " car cafe " set created for the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction was explicitly modelled on well-known examples of the Googie style, including Lautner's Googie diner ( which was boarded up but still standing when the film as made ) and Henry's Restaurant in Glendale.

In 2008 Lautner's life and work was the subject of a major retrospective exhibition at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.

It features extensive contemporary and archival images of many of Lautner's key buildings ( most of which are not open to the public ), excerpts from Lautner's 1986 oral history recordings, interviews with Lautner's family, colleagues and clients, Lautner archivist Frank Escher and longtime Lautner fan Frank Gehry, as well as a moving on-site reunion of the three surviving principals who built the Chemosphere — Lautner's assistant Guy Zebert, original owner Leonard Malin, and builder John de la Vaux ( who was 95 years old at the time of filming ).

The Carling House has become one Lautner's most celebrated designs and marked the beginning of his fruitful collaboration with de la Vaux, which lasted through seven major projects, including the famous " Chemosphere ".

Arguably the most widely seen of Lautner's works, the Elrod House ( 1968 ) became famous through its use as a location in the Bond film Diamonds Are Forever.

Another point of similarity is that, like Wright, many of Lautner's houses were sited in elevated locations or " difficult " sites — hillsides or seashores — and were expressly designed to take full advantage of the vistas these sites offered ; he also followed Wright's dictum of building on a slope rather than on the very top of a hill.

These photos marked the start of a lifelong association between architect and photographer ; over the next fifty years Shulman logged some 75 assignments on various Lautner projects ( for Lautner and other clients ) and his photos of Lautner's architecture have appeared in at least 275 articles.

Lautner's work is especially significant for its radical expansion of both the technical and spatial vocabulary of domestic architecture.

Although not well-known and rarely available for public viewing ( it is located within a gated community ) it is one of the largest and most visually striking of Lautner's domestic designs.

Lautner's approach to architecture embodied many of Wright's philosophies and preoccupations, above all, the notion of a building as a " total concept ".

The annexation of Mauretania, begun under Caligula, was completed after the defeat of rebel forces, and the official division of the former client kingdom into two Imperial provinces.

Mauretania was a client kingdom of Rome ruled by Ptolemy of Mauretania.

However, the rebellion of Tacfarinas had shown how exposed Africa Proconsularis was to its west and how the Mauretanian client kings were unable to provide protection to the province, and it is thus possible that Caligula's expansion was a prudent response to potential future threats.

The three were expelled from the Central Committee and Presidium, as was former Foreign Minister and Khrushchev client Dmitri Shepilov who joined them in the plot.
