The reason our house has a name is not because its original owner, Ralph G Walker, had a name worth knowing\u2014he worked for an insurance company\u2014but because his architect did. Walker\u2019s architect was RM Schindler. Schindler arrived in Los Angeles in 1920, 15 years before Walker hired him, and the work he built during that decade and a half (and beyond) was both miraculous and maddening. Miraculous because it was better than nearly all of his contemporaries\u2019, and maddening because it managed to attract far less attention than anything nearly as good.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Andrew Romano<\/p>\n<p><em>The Walker House, RM Schindler<\/em>\u00a0is the first in a series of architecture books related to inspirational houses. It takes us to Los Angeles, the adopted home of Austrian-born American architect, RM Schindler, and tells the story of the Walker House and how came into the possession of its current owner, journalist and modernist architecture and design geek, Andrew Romano.
