The correspondence between Richard and Dione Neutra recounts the difficult early years and the developing philosophy of a man who would change the look of architecture But as Thomas S Hines Neutras biographer makes clear the book does far more than trace the development of two artistic young people What you have here is not only valuable material about the making of an architectural career and of a salutary and interesting marriage but documents of European and American social and cultural history in the early twentieth century The letters and diary entries describe the period that followed World War I with the unbelievable inflation in Germany and the Great Depression in AmericanbspThe settings range from imperial Vienna to imperial Japan and from the nightmare of Ellis Island to a dreamhouse in Los Angeles Along the way are fascinating glimpses of and comments from such architects as Gropius Mendelsohn Schindler and Wright that further document Richard Neutras concepts approaches and attitudes his frustrations and achievementsnbspRunning as a charming counterpoint to these intellectual themes is the story of a romance that was to endure for half a century for many of the letters are first and foremost love letters that chronicle the Neutras meeting courtship and first ten years of marriage The book is generously illustrated by both personal photographs and photographs of Neutras work

Eight million Americans a year cool their heels in psychiatric waiting rooms Design can help lower this nervous overhead Richard Neutra 1954 Sylvia Lavins Form Follows Libido argues that by the 1950s some architects felt an urge to steer the cool abstraction of high modernism away from a neutral formalism toward the production of more erotic affective environments Lavin turns to the architecture of Richard Neutra 18921970 to explore the genesis of these new moodinducing environments In a series of engaging essays weaving through the designs and writings of this Viennaborn Californiabased architect Lavin discovers in Neutra a sustained and poignant psychoanalytic reflection set in the context of a burgeoning psychoanalytic culture in America Lavin shows that Neutras redirection of modernism constituted not a lyrical regression to sentimentality but a deliberate advance of architectural theory and technique to engage the unconscious mind fueled by the ideas of psychoanalysis that were being rapidly disseminated at the time In Neutras responses to a vivid range of issues from psychoanalysis proper to the popular psychology of teleevangelical prayer Lavin uncovers a radical reconstitution of the architectural discipline Arguing persuasively that the received historical views of both psychoanalysis and architecture have led to a suppression of their compelling coincidences and unorthodoxies Lavin sets out to unleash midcentury architectures hidden libido Neither Neutra nor psychoanalysis emerges unscathed from her investigation of how architecture came to be saturated by the intrigues of affect often against its will If Reyner Banham sought to put architecture on the couch then Lavin through Neutra leaps beyond Banhams ameliorative aim to lure contemporary architecture into the lush and dangerous liaisons of environmental design

A biblical scholar identifies the covenant as an overarching theme among diverse biblical texts While the canonical scriptures were produced over many centuries and represent a diverse library of texts they are unified by stories of divine covenants and their implications for Gods people In this deeply researched and thoughtful book Scott Hahn shows how covenant as an overarching theme makes possible a coherent reading of the diverse traditions found within the canonical scriptures nbsp Biblical covenants though varied in form and content all serve the purpose of extending sacred bonds of kinship Hahn explains Specifically divine covenants form and shape a fatherson bond between God and the chosen people Biblical narratives turn on that fact and biblical theology depends upon it With meticulous attention to detail the author demonstrates how divine sonship represents a covenant relationship with God that has been consistent throughout salvation history A canonical reading of this divine plan reveals an illuminating pattern of promise and fulfillment in both the Old and New Testaments Gods saving mercies are based upon his sworn commitments which he keeps even when his people break the covenant
