On Saturday, March 22nd, join Victoria Lautman as she explores “The Cross-Cultural Architectural Fantasies of Robert Stacy-Judd” with filmmaker, curator, and author Jesse Lerner. This in-person and Zoom event will be located at the historic Neutra Office Building in Silver Lake.
Remnants of architect and writer Robert Stacy-Judd’s flamboyant handiwork are strewn throughout LA.
Stacy-Judd designed the striking Aztec Hotel in Monrovia (1924) around the same time as the Frank Lloyd Wright Ennis house. Other unique projects followed, like the Ventura First Baptist Church (1932), the Pueblo Revival Atwater Bungalows (c. 1931), the Philosophical Research Society in Los Feliz (1934), and the North Hollywood Masonic Temple (1949), all of which can still be seen today in various states of preservation.
VISUAL WORLD with Victoria Lautman explores the constructed environment in its various forms: architecture, design, fashion, art, landscape, or their intersections. A long-time cultural journalist, Lautman has contributed to many newspapers and magazines, and hosted long-running programs. In 2017 she published The Vanishing Stepwells of India (Merrell, London), a groundbreaking book about the little-known architectural marvels.
