Lautner left the Honnold practice in 1947, primarily because he had begun a relationship with Honnold's wife Elizabeth Gilman ( although the two men reportedly remained friends ).

Lautner was quickly admitted to the Fellowship, but he had recently become engaged to a neighbor, Mary Faustina (" MaryBud ") Roberts and could not afford the fees, so Vida approached MaryBud's mother, who agreed to pay for the couple to join the program.

Lautner soon established a high media profile and throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s his work featured regularly in both popular and professional publications, including Architectural Record, Arts & Architecture, House & Garden, Ladies ' Home Journal and the Los Angeles Times.

Lautner and Gilman married in 1948 and MaryBud returned to Marquette with their four children, daughters Karol Lautner ( b. 1938 ), Mary Beecher Lautner ( b. California, 1944 ), Judith Munroe Lautner ( b. California, 1946 ) and son Michael John Lautner ( b. Astor Farm, Indio, California, 1942-d. California, 2005 ).

From the late 1940s until his death, Lautner worked primarily on designing domestic residences.

Taylor Lautner, who was going to star in the film, is no longer involved in the project.

John Edward Lautner ( July 16, 1911 – October 24, 1994 ) was an influential American architect whose work in Southern California combined progressive engineering with humane design and dramatic space-age flair.

Lautner was born in Marquette, Michigan in 1911 and was of mixed Austrian and Irish descent.

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 ".

Although the Mauer House was not finished for another five years, the Bell House was quickly completed and it consolidated the earlier success of the Lautner House, earning him wide praise and recognition — the University of Chicago solicited plans and drawings for use as a teaching tool, and it was featured in numerous publications over the next few years including the Los Angeles Times, a three-page spread in the June 1942 issue of Arts and Architecture, the May 1944 issue House and Garden ( which declared it " the model house for California living "), a California Designs feature centering on the Bell and Mauer houses, Architectural Forum, and The Californian.

During 1941 Lautner was again brought in to oversee two more Wright projects that had run into trouble: the redesign of the Ennis House and an ill-fated project for a lavish Malibu residence (" Eaglefeather ") for filmmaker Arch Oboler.

In 2009 Lautner was the subject of a documentary feature film direct by Murray Grigor, Infinite Space: The Architecture of John Lautner.

Throughout his life Lautner was a passionate admirer of his mentor ( to whom he typically referred as " Mr. Wright ") and he remained a dedicated practitioner of Organic Architecture.

Fortuitously, the pair met through their wives, who knew each other socially — at the time, Lautner was having trouble finding contractors to work on his houses, and de la Vaux, a boat builder, was keen to move into housing construction.

As de La Vaux recounted in the 2009 Lautner documentary, the project was briefly halted by a rare snowstorm that dumped more than six inches of snow on the Hollywood area.

Although best known for his residential commissions, Lautner was also an important contributor to the commercial genre known as Googie architecture.

Another key Lautner work in the Googie genre was Henry's Restaurant ( 1957 ) in Pomona ; its vaulted roof, resembling an inverted boat hull, arched over the interior booths and the large exposed beams ( made from glue-laminated timber ) carried through to the exterior, where they supported a slatted awning that shaded the drive-in area.

The steep hillside site had been given to Malin by his father-in-law, but was considered impossible to build on until Lautner devised his design:

The project had a long and difficult gestation — while it was still being built, original owner Kenneth Reiner ( with whom Lautner collaborated closely ) was bankrupted by the fraudulent dealings of his business partners and he was forced to sell the house.

Nevertheless, even during the time he worked under Wright, Lautner sought to established his own individual and distinctive style:

Although his earlier works not surprisingly displayed some of the influence of his mentor, Lautner gradually developed his own style and consciously avoided anything that could be classified as " Wright-influenced ".

" When I auditioned for the film, Robert Rodriguez, the director, didn ’ t know that I had my martial arts, and while we there in Austin, TX he saw a DVD of me and asked me to choreograph my own fight scenes ", said Lautner.

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.

Another key characteristic of Lautner's architecture is his heterogeneous approach, not only in his overall concepts — each Lautner building is a unique design solution — but also in his use of materials, as Jean-Louis Cohen notes in his essay " John Lautner's Luxuriant Tectonics ":

Lautner first defined an architectural solution to the scale, function, and public space of car-oriented suburban architecture in his remodel of Henry's in Glendale in 1947.

* ( Abstract: Chronicles the return to fashionability of Palm Springs, including the post-W. W. II architecture of John Lautner, Richard Neutra, and Albert Frey.

In 1944 Lautner pursued joint ventures with architects Samuel Reisbord and Whitney R. Smith before becoming a design associate in the practice of Douglas Honnold.

Lautner obtained his architectural license in 1952 and in February House and Home published the genre-defining Douglas Haskell article " Googie Architecture ", which included two Shulman photographs of the Los Angeles restaurant accompanied by an article on the Foster and Carling houses and L ' Horizon apartments.

With a handful of exceptions ( e. g. the Arango Residence in Acapulco, the Turner House in Aspen, Colorado, the Harpel House # 2 in Anchorage, Alaska, the Ernest Lautner house in Pensacola, Florida ) nearly all of Lautner's extant buildings are in California, mostly in and around Los Angeles.

It is ironic that, although famous Lautner works like the Carling and Harpel houses, the Chemosphere and the Sheats Goldstein Residence have become inextricably linked with Los Angeles in the public imagination, Lautner repeatedly expressed his dislike of California.

Lautner also faced opposition from the Los Angeles building certification authorities, who were dismayed by the radical design of the post-stressed concrete ramp, which cantilivers out from the base of the house without any columns supporting it from beneath, and is only four inches thick.

Not surprisingly, the Los Angeles building inspector demanded a static load test to prove that it could take the weight of a car — a standoff that mirrored Lautner and Wright's earlier contretemps with skeptical building authorities who demanded load tests on Wright's famous " lotus pad " columns for the Johnson Wax Building.

John Lautner designed over 200 architectural projects during his career, but many designs for larger buildings were never realised.

As his career developed Lautner increasingly explored the use of concrete and he designed a number of homes for his more affluent clients that featured major structural elements fabricated from reinforced concrete.

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.

Lautner, for his part, `` belonged to the present-day race of small artists, who do not demand the utmost of themselves '', and the bitter description of the type includes such epithets as `` wretched little poseurs '', the devastating indictment `` they do not know how to be wretched decently and in order '', and the somewhat extreme prophecy, so far not fulfilled: `` They will be destroyed ''.
