The Radical Michelangelo – Artist and Architect

March 10, 2013 by Westside Home Finder Leave a Comment

Happy Sunday everyone! We hope you are enjoying this beautiful morning on the Westside of Los Angeles. Here is some beautiful architecture..

Step aside, Frank Gehry! Apparently Michelangelo is the irreverent one. Born on March 6, 1475, Michelangelo is well-known for his elaborate Biblical paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, but it’s his architecture design for the Laurentian Library in Florence that intrigues Dr. Cammy Brothers. A Renaissance scholar at the University of Virginia, Brothers suggests that Michelangelo’s “irreverent attitude” challenges our expectations, “defying the accepted sense of what architecture can do.”

source: http://architecture.about.com/b/2013/03/06/happy-birthday-michelangelo-2.htm

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564), commonly known as Michelangelo (Italian pronunciation: [mikeˈlandʒelo]), was an Italian Renaissance sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with fellow Italian Leonardo da Vinci.

Dennis Quaid Buys Pacific Palisades Home For His Ex And Their Children

March 5, 2013 by Westside Home Finder Leave a Comment

Congratulations to the Quaid family for becoming the newest Pacific Palisadians! Pacific Palisades is a great place to call home and it’s affluent neighborhoods boast some of the best real estate in Los Angeles.

Here is information from the Realtor Blogs:

“Vegas” star Dennis Quaid has purchased a $3.1 million home in the Pacific Palisades district of Los Angeles which, according to court records, is for the use of his soon-to-be ex-wife Kimberly Buffington and their two children. 2012 was a tough year for the couple, with two separations and dueling divorce filings, but Quaid is obviously taking his offer of spousal support to Buffington seriously. The 4 bed, 5 bath home has incredible Pacific views, a pool, and will offer plenty of room for Buffington and the children. He also picked a place where he could be comfortable: the neighborhood pedigree is all-Hollywood, with Steven Spielberg, Ben Affleck, and Tom Hanks among the laundry list of stars who call the Pacific Palisades home.

The Curtis Meyer House by Frank Lloyd Wright

December 28, 2012 by Westside Home Finder Leave a Comment

The Curtis Meyer Residence (1948) is one of four houses Frank Lloyd Wright designed for the Galesburg subdivision. Like his other “Galesburg Country Homes,” the Curtis Meyer home was a Usonian. The distinctly American (“USA”) style was uncomplicated and relatively economical. Frank Lloyd Wright said that his Unsonian houses would encourage “more simplified and… more gracious living.” In the 1940s, a group of scientists who worked for the Upjohn Company asked architect Frank Lloyd Wright to design homes for them on a 72-acre parcel of land located in Galesburg, Michigan.

The Curtis Meyer Residence (1948) is one of four houses Frank Lloyd Wright designed for “The Acres”. Each home sits on one round acre, with the rest of the land shared by the owners. The other 3 Wright designed homes are the Weisblat house, the Pratt House, and the Epstein House. In 1960 a 5th home was added. It was designed by Will Willsey who had attended Taliesin in the 1940′s.

Mr. Wright paid two visits to the site. One preliminary visit to plat out the property and one during the construction of the homes whose building was supervised by Taliesin apprentice Jack Howe. All of the homes were designed in the Usonian style. Wright proposed the use of the adjective Usonian in place of American to describe the particular character of the American landscape as distinct and free of previous architectural conventions. The distinctly American (“USA”) style was to be uncomplicated and relatively economical. Frank Lloyd Wright said that his Usonian houses would encourage “more simplified and… more gracious living”. All four houses at The Acres utilize these concepts with a carport, radiant floor heating, block construction and Honduran Mahogany accents. The Meyer house was constructed with commercial grade concrete block in order to accommodate the circular nature of the design. The Meyer house holds special interest to admirers of Wright’s architecture as he was drawn more and more to the circular form, culminating in one of his masterpieces, The Guggenheim Museum. The house employed the use of 8×8 blocks and 4×16 blocks (both approved by Wright) rather than his usual 8×16 block. After Mr. Wright’s second visit, he ordered Mr. Howe to spray the block with gunite. He was interested in eliminating the vertical joint of the block and emphasizing the sweeping horizontal nature of his circular design.
