Movie Event - Infinite Space: The Architecture of John Lautner
“The purpose of architecture,” said John Lautner, “is to create timeless, free, joyous spaces for all activities in life.”
Infinite Space, a new documentary feature film, traces the lifelong quest of visionary genius John Lautner to create “architecture that has no beginning and no end.” It is the story of brilliance and of a complicated life - and the most sensual architecture of the 20th century.
