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

The revival in the late 90s of mid-century modernism has given new cachet to his work, as with homes and public structures built by the architects John Lautner and Rudolf Schindler.

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

Lautner left the Fellowship in early 1938 ( primarily because MaryBud was pregnant ) to establish his own architecture practice in Los Angeles, but he told his mentor that, while seeking an independent career, he remained " ready to do anything you or your Fellowship need ".

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.

In 1929 Lautner enrolled in the Liberal Arts program at his father's college — now renamed Northern State Teachers College — where he studied philosophy, ethics, physics, literature, drafting, art and architectural history, read the work of Immanuel Kant and Henri Bergson, played woodwinds and piano, and developed an interest in jazz.

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 ".

In recent years Lautner's work has undergone a significant critical reappraisal with the 1999 publication of Alan Hess and Alan Weintraub's " The Architecture of John Lautner " ( Rizzoli ), and a 2008 exhibit at the Hammer Museum curated by architect Frank Escher and architectural historian Nicholas Olsberg.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It featured interviews with Lautner filmed for the production.

One of the few Lautner buildings regularly open to the general public is the Desert Hot Springs Motel, which was restored in 2001.

The 2000s have also seen many new teen idols emerge from popular feature films such as the casts of the Harry Potter ( e. g. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson ) and Twilight ( e. g. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner ) film franchises ; television series such as Glee have also developed stars who are popular among younger viewers.

Unisex names which are popular among celebrities include Jamie ( Jamie Bell and Jamie Lee Curtis ), Morgan ( Morgan Freeman and Morgan Fairchild ), Shannon ( Shannon Leto and Shannon Elizabeth ), Taylor ( Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift ) and Tracy ( Tracy Morgan and Tracy Chapman ).

Construction of the highly unusual project saw the initial $ 30, 000 budget blow out to over $ 100, 000, but fortunately Malin and Lautner were able to cover the shortfall by obtaining corporate sponsorship, including funding from the Southern California Gas Company and support from the Chemseal Corporation of America, who provided sealants, plastics and other materials, in return for use of the house for promotions and the right to name the house the " Chemosphere " for advertising purposes.

In 1933 Lautner graduated with a degree in Liberal Arts.

Along with McAllister, the prolific Googie architects included John Lautner, Douglas Honnold and the team of Louis Armet and Eldon Davis of Armet & Davis firm, which they founded in 1947.

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.

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.

In 2009 the Googie Company released the documentary feature film Infinite Space: The Architecture of John Lautner, directed by Murray Grigor.

During this period Lautner worked with Wright on the designs of the Sturges House in Brentwood Heights, California and on the unbuilt Jester House.

Lautner supervised the building of the Sturges House for Wright, but during construction he ran into serious design, cost and construction problems which climaxed with the threat of legal action by the owners, forcing Wright to bring in students from Taliesin to complete repairs.

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.

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.

At his wife's suggestion de la Vaux approached Lautner and offered to build the Carling House, and they sealed the deal with a handshake.

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.

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 ''.

The music which Lautner has composed for this episode is for the most part `` rather pretty and perfectly banal ''.

that is, he is suspect, guilty, punishable, as is anyone in Mann's stories who produces illusion, and this is true even though the constant elements of the artist-nature, technique, magic, guilt and suffering, are divided in this story between Jacoby and Lautner.

The scenes in Jackie Treehorn's house were shot in the Sheats Goldstein Residence, designed by John Lautner and built in 1963 in the Hollywood Hills.
