John Lautner

Yesterday I went and saw the "Between Earth and Heaven" exhibit at the Hammer for John Lautner and it was fantastic! John Lautner was an architect who created amazing houses and buildings with great lines that let you see both in the house and out.
Most of his structures used lots of glass, like whole walls of glass that would look out onto picturesque views of valleys and rivers.
He exhibit had all his sketches as well as full models of a few of his most famous structures and they are all really amazing. You can also watch the videos that are projected onto the wall to get an in depth look and tour of the actual structure.
The exhibit is really worth going to see so you should try and see it before it leaves on October 12th.
