house porn - the chemosphere
yesterday's latimes' home section cover the taschen-owned, escher-restored john lautner house known as the chemosphere. despite my many problems with the latimes, its a highly enjoyable article - explains the restoration, some of the problems with updating the house's technology, the history of the house. the only piece missing - how much the taschen's paid for it when they bought it in 1997. I remember reading recently they paid $1 million. the latimes seems to take great pleasure in writing about the original cost and selling price on homes in the hot properties column. its unfortunate they didnt apply that kind of keen investigate journalism to this feature.

i thought it was interesting that that picture you posted from the article looks similar to the Shulman pic of Koenig's Case Study #22.
