Jock Peters, Architecture and Design by Christopher Long PDF Summary

Book Description: Scholar and historian Christopher Long turns his attention to the little-known German-born architect and designer Jock Peters (1889-1934). This engaging study examines the architect's early development in Germany-Peters's work in Hamburg before World War I and in Berlin after the war-and the influences that shaped his thinking. Professor Long then places Peters's more mature work-created after he immigrated to America in 1922-within the context of the early history of Los Angeles modernism in the 1920s and early 1930s. Of Peters's modern work produced in America, most notable are the interiors he designed for the once-famous Hollander department store in New York City as well as those for Bullock's Wilshire in Los Angeles (the building was recently restored by Southwestern Law School). Both projects brought him international recognition. Peters also designed a dynamic sales office building for the short-lived Maddox Airlines, as well as stores and houses for the developer William Lingenbrink, a major supporter of the burgeoning modernism in Southern California. Aside from his architectural work, Peters designed film sets for Famous Lasky-Players (later Paramount Pictures), working in the famed art department of Hans Dreier. Despite his early death, Peters managed to leave his mark on the modernist landscape in Southern California at a time when the new style was just emerging.The 262 historic photographs, etchings, watercolors, drawings (including floor plans), many in color, create a visually rich study of Peters's work, including his designs for houses, retail spaces, storefronts, furniture, packaging, textiles, and film sets. Much of the material is from the architect's personal archive, still in family hands, and has never before been published.
