John Lautner John Lautner John Lautner John Lautner

JOHN EDWARD LAUTNER JR., FAIA (1911-1994)

Lautner was born in Marquette MI from academic parents at what is now called Northern Michigan University. He briefly attended the University of Michigan and in 1933, he graduated from Northern Michigan University in English and began a six-year job with Frank Lloyd Wright — in the first class of Taliesin Fellows at Spring Green WI. His fiancée Mary (MaryBud) Faustina Roberts Lautner (1913-1995) was also a Taliesin Fellow. They married in 1934.

For Wright, Lautner oversaw many buildings including the Johnson Wax Building in Wisconsin and a Wright design for his mother-in-law Abby Beecher Roberts, the Deertrack House in Marquette MI. Lautner moved to California in 1937 to oversee the construction of Wright's Sturges and Oboler houses. In 1943, he left Wright to work for Structon Company on military projects. Lautner worked in 1944 for and became partner in 1945 with architect Douglas Honnold who was also an interior designer. In 1947, Lautner departed after an affair with Honnold's wife, Elizabeth Gilman (Gilly) Honnold, which ended the partnership although the two architects later reconciled as friends.

After divorcing MaryBud in 1950, he married Elizabeth and took on her daughter, also named Elizabeth. Lautner did not receive his architectural license until 1952. He considered his clients "either rich bastards or poor geniuses," according to stepdaughter Elizabeth Honnold Harris. Known for his houses, Lautner was also well-known for Googie design, distinctive for its expansive glass walls, arresting form, and exuberant signage oriented to automobiles. Googie became a fixture in 1950s America but was regularly ridiculed by the architectural community. Lautner's reputation suffered, despite the fact his innovative designs were as good as ever. Following some lean years, he rose again in the 1960s with the Chemosphere House in LA and poured-concrete houses like the Elrod and Hope houses in Palm Springs. His wife Elizabeth died in 1978. In 1982, Lautner married her caretaker, Francisca Hernandez, who has since passed away.

Upon his death, brilliant Lautner protégé Helena Arahuete took over the firm. He has been the subject of several documentaries, including Infinite Space and Betty Jane Cohen's film, Spirit in Architecture. His archives are at the Getty.

"The purpose of Architecture is to improve human life. Create timeless, free, joyous spaces for all activities in life. The infinite variety of these spaces can be as varied as life itself and they must be as sensible as nature in deriving from a main idea and flowering into a beautiful entity." — John Lautner
