RUDOLF (aka RUDOLPH) MICHAEL SCHINDLER (1887-1953) Encouraged by fellow Austrian architect Adolph Loos, Schindler moved to Chicago in 1914 to work for Ottenheimer Stern and Reichert. In 1916, he delivered 12 elaborate lectures at the Church School of Design in Chicago which became known as the Schindler "Program," his central design philosophy. Schindler always wanted to work for Frank Lloyd Wright and in late 1918 Wright hired him. After obtaining the commission for the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, a major project that involved being in Japan for several years, Schindler was promoted to run Wright's American operations out of the Oak Park IL studio. In 1919, Schindler met and married Pauline Gibling (1893-1977) and in 1920 Wright sent Schindler west to Los Angeles to work on the Aline Barnsdall House. Beyond his job for Wright, Schindler started his own independent practice in 1922. Because of this issue and the two men's massive egos, Schindler and Wright argued frequently and eventually separated as architects. Richard Neutra worked for Wright in 1924 at Taliesin East but left after a few months to work in California with Schindler. Neutra shared space in Schindler's house with their wives. Their firm was called Schindler and Neutra, then later AGIC (the Architectural Group for Industry and Commerce). Philip Johnson famously rejected Schindler's inclusion in the 1932 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art because he felt Schindler was outside the International Style. Schindler responded by rejecting the categorizing of his designs as part of any style. Schindler and Neutra's relationship began to unravel, and the Neutra's moved out. They rarely interacted after that. When Neutra had a heart attack in 1953, he found himself in the same hospital room as Schindler who was dying of cancer. They made their peace before Schindler died. The Schindlers divorced in the 1930's, however Pauline Schindler returned to the Kings Road house after a few years and stayed there until her death in 1977. They had one son, Mark, in 1922. Schindler was a leader in the creative class in Los Angeles, a true bohemian. He hung out with celebrities in film, art, sculpture, and dance.
His only church design, the 1945 Bethlehem Baptist Church, 7403 S. Normandie, was abandoned for years in South Los Angeles. Faith Build International restored it as an active open-to-all church in 2014. Top two photos by Andrea Minton. Bottom photo by Steve Wallet.
