00:10In the 60s, Norman Foster, Archie Graham, they all came here to L.A.
00:17They came for the case study houses, but they all started to discover Schindler.
00:27Schindlers Räume fließen schnell.
00:29They are the architecture of the rapid eye movement.
00:33You can't see them slowly.
00:36Liquid spaces which are floating very fast.
00:41When we come back to try to understand the sort of key elements that are at the heart of all
00:47architecture.
00:47Proportion, human scale, space, natural light, material and how material is detailed and expressed.
00:57Schindler stands at the top.
00:59It's an amazing accomplishment given he had to do everything with the domestic scale.
01:05I was studying at USC and he came and gave talks there.
01:12While I was a student, I visited every one of his buildings.
01:16I spent a lot of time looking at all his work.
01:20For me, in the end, he was the most important one that I could relate to.
01:26He was a local hero.
01:27We all were very inspired by him.
01:30It's really hard to be a pessimist when you're living in such beauty.
01:36Actually, that beauty is all around all of us all the time.
01:39But Schindler knew how to read it and how to bring it in.
01:43So it was part of your life.
01:45That was his genius.
01:47And then, unlike being a young architect looking at Schindler
01:51and using that as your basis at the beginning of your work,
01:54it's more now finding connections of things that you find valuable in your own thinking
02:01about what architecture should or shouldn't be.
02:04And now there's this deep connection to Schindler as an architect
02:08and very particularly to his house on Kings Road.
02:13An outsider.
02:15On a path of his own.
02:16He was modern in the purest way.
02:20That he prevailed against all odds
02:22is a testament to his unique and lasting vision.
02:30Schindler didn't wear socks.
02:32To his own.
02:38Hope활os are a part of our show!
