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.
