Video Explores Work and Career of Architect John Lautner

The Spirit in Architecture, a film by by Bette Jane Cohen, examines the work of John Lautner, one of the most visionary and profound architects, who began his career in Los Angeles in the 1930s. This illuminating journey into Lautner's world features never before seen footage from his apprenticeship with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin; extensive documentation of his extraordinary buildings; and interviews with historians, critics, collaborators, clients, and Lautner himself, which put his achievements in perspective. The use of his buildings in feature films and his "Googie" coffee shop design together demonstrate his contribution to popular culture.

Purchase the film on VHS at the Gnosis Store.

Reconstructing Constructions

The ARCHITECTS' & DESIGNERS' OWN HOMES TOUR 2 was a great success and your participation will help underwrite the publishing costs associated with our reprinting CONSTRUCTIONS: BUILDINGS IN ARIZONA BY ALFRED NEWMAN BEADLE.

But Gnosis needs your assistance to see this project realized. I’m asking you to consider making a tax-deductible donation to this 501(c)(3) organization in support of this publication.

Would you help us by pre-ordering your copy of this sought-after, long out-of-print catalogue?
