    Rudolf Schindler was an Austrian-American architect born in 1887 in Vienna. He studied architecture in Vienna and worked for Frank Lloyd Wright in Chicago after graduating. In 1921, Schindler established his own practice in Hollywood. While he collaborated with Richard Neutra, who used steel frames, Schindler designed with reinforced concrete, which led him to use studwork and plywood. Over 40 years, Schindler completed 330 buildings and projects, providing insight into three-dimensional space design despite issues with his chosen materials.

    Rudolf M.

    Schindler
    (b. Vienna, 10 September 1887, d. Los Angeles, 22 August 1953)
    Ruldoph Schindler was born in Vienna in 1887. He studied at the Imperial Technical Institute from
    1906 to 1911. After graduating from the Academy of Arts in 1913 with degrees in architecture and
    engineering, Schindler moved to Chicago where he worked for Frank Lloyd Wright. In 1921 Schindler
    established a practice in Hollywood. He collaborated with Richard Neutra from 1925..
    Schindler and Neutra exhibited a striking difference in the use of materials. While Neutra utilized
    steel-framed buildings, Schindler designed his works with reinforced concrete. The difficulty in
    finding skilled concrete workers led Schindler to use studwork and ply. None of his chosen building
    materials have aged well.
    Disregarding material and technical shortcomings, Schindler's designs provide insight into the three-
    dimensional creation of space. Schindler achieved a vast production of 330 buildings and projects over
    40 years.
