The Library of Mr. & Mrs. Neutra

A book about books. Specifically, the ones Richard and Dione Neutra kept — inscribed, dog-eared, and arranged within their VDL House in Los Angeles — a modernist residence that was itself a living argument for how space shapes thought.

This is architecture as autobiography: 112 pages indexing a personal collection where professional obsession, family history, and intellectual life converge on a single shelf. As much a treatise on the act of collecting as on the architect himself — what we gather, and why, says everything.

Co-published with Marta, Los Angeles, on the occasion of the Built In exhibition. Edited by Jeff Khonsary and Benjamin Critton.

A considered gift for those who read architecture the way others read fiction.
