Although Schindler sought to be in this show and sent his portfolio to Johnson, he was not included. Indeed, he did not. Schindler was concerned with the architecture of space, which, for him, meant designing a unique program for each building and each site. Although he used poured concrete slabs in his construction, he framed his buildings in wood. Windows and doors were open to nature.
Roofs shoot off at angles with odd-shaped clerestories.
Rooms feature obliquely angled corners and staircases. Schindler designed his own pre-fabricated furniture out of plywood that could be built by any carpenter. He also built seating and tables into the rooms. In these, and so many other ways, Schindler influenced the development of domestic architecture in Southern California. He characterized his primary contribution in a manifesto.
