From commercial buildings to such iconic homes as the Chemosphere, we look at Lautner's sensitivity to a building's surroundings and his unique capacity to integrate structures into the Californian landscape. With several of Lautner's houses now labeled Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments, we'll also consider the architect's cultural legacy, as much as his pioneering of a visual paradigm of 1950s optimism, economic growth, and space-age adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the series\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn back in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection ever published.
