Clearly the scale of these homes does not compare with the civic structures noted in the Iris, but these smaller treasures are no less important to their owners. The Getty Center bookstore has a delightful book about Richard Neutra's work here in Los Angeles, look for it. I applaud the renewed interest in structures designed ih the 20th Century, and am looking forward to hearing about them during your Conservation lectures.
