Rudolph Michael Schindler (September 10, 1887 - August 22, 1953) was an Austrian-born American architect whose most important works were built in or near Los Angeles during the early to mid-twentieth century. This post is a summary of the wonderful Schindler projects I have visited.

Architecture Fieldtrip - MAK Center for Art and Architecture, 3 Works by R.M. Schindler

The MAK Center is a unique constellation of modern buildings designed by architect R.M. Schindler: the landmark Schindler House (1922) in West Hollywood, the Mackey Apartments (1939) in Los Angeles, and the Fitzpatrick-Leland House (1936) in Laurel Canyon.

Architect Corner - Minoru Yamasaki, Michigan

When you happen to be near Detroit and have a small window of free time to archi-tour, where to go? I chose to walk the campus of Wayne State University to view the Minoru Yamasaki buildings.

Architect Corner - Neptune and Thomas

This post contains a selection of projects by Neptune and Thomas Associates, mostly educational buildings with a performing arts center thrown in. I appreciate the modern style of these buildings, some more brutalist than others.
