The Hammer Museum is renovating the reputation of an underappreciated architect with a new show dedicated to the work of John Lautner. The exhibition demonstrates how Lautner, known as a Frank Lloyd Wright protégé and a designer of houses that resembled flying saucers, made use of new building technologies. Each of Lautner's homes is private yet extraordinary, like a "cave with a view," representing a productive tension between futurism and the flight from urban spaces. The show also showcases short films on Lautner by Murray Grigor, whose feature-length film about the architect comes out this fall.
