      Der gebürtige Wiener Rudolph Michael Schindler (1887–1953) wanderte 1914 nach Chicago aus, gefolgt von seinem Freund und Konkurrenten Richard Neutra. Als Frank Lloyd Wright ihn in Los Angeles einstellte, verband Schindler Einflüsse des Kubismus und des International Style zu seiner einzigartigen Vision, die er „Raumarchitektur“ nannte. Er kombinierte geometrische Formen, kühne Linien und Materialien wie Holz und Beton und behandelte den Raum als eigenständiges Medium. Trotz geringer Anerkennung zu Lebzeiten gilt er heute als einer der bedeutendsten Pioniere der amerikanischen Moderne. Zu seinen Schlüsselwerken zählen das Wolfe-Haus an einem steilen Hang, das baumhausähnliche Falk-Apartmenthaus, das Lovell-Strandhaus, ein Musterbeispiel der Moderne in Amerika, sowie das Schindler/Chace-Haus, sein wichtigstes Werk und zugleich sein Büro und Zuhause. Schindlers innovative Entwürfe, von privaten Wohnhäusern bis zu kleinen Gewerbebauten, leiteten eine neue Ära des zeitgenössischen Bauens ein. Das Buch bietet eine Karte mit den Standorten seiner bekanntesten Projekte sowie detaillierte Beschreibungen, Grundrisse und prägnante Fotos jedes Gebäudes und seiner Innenarchitektur.
