Schindler House located in West Hollywood
The Schindler House incorporates both architectural and social theory. It unfolds formally, spatially and intellectually with coherence unparalleled in early modern architecture. Schindler called his special form of modern architecture “Space architecture,” which blurs the boundaries between indoors and out.

Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels

Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles
What historically took centuries to construct was accomplished in three years in the building of the 11-story Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. Spanish architect, José Rafael Moneo wanted a public space and also a private place that gives people what they seek when they go to church. This geometry contributes to the Cathedral’s feeling of mystery and its aura of majesty.
