"Frank Gehry, Architect...by Jean-Louis Cohen et al., reveals the singular creativity of the most important architect practicing today. The Architecture of R.M. Schindler (Abrams, $65), compiled by Michael Darling, shows how Schindlerwas steeped in the avant-garde world [but] went on to California, and spent the rest of his life trying to capture the feel of the coast. Expressive, cliff-hugging beach houses are at the heart of his rediscovery."
