- Gregory Ain (1908-88) was one of America’s most prominent modern architects between 1935 and 1960. Ain left Richard Neutra's office in 1935 and designed several important structures as a young man. With strong influences from Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, and Frank Lloyd Wright, he was interested in cubist techniques and mathematical games to produce three-dimensional forms. Asymmetry, diagonal relationships, overlapping and interlocking elements, and spiral movement mark his finished works. He worked with Charles and Ray Eames in the 1950’s and was the Head of the Department of Architecture at the Pennsylvania State University from 1963 to 1968. Ain produced a variety of building types but is best known for his residential projects, many of which were housing cooperatives. His architectural priorities were often influenced by his left-wing politics. Many of his clients were Communist Party members. He had a loose partnership with James Garrott (see Tour HD3: African American Architects in Los Angeles). He also frequently included Garrett Eckbo as his landscape architect on projects. With modifications, this tour can become a Half Day tour if preferred.
