Schindler, Rudolph (Michael)
(b Vienna, 5 Sept 1887; d Los Angeles, CA, 22 Aug 1953). American architect of Austrian birth. He grew up within the confines of a respectable bourgeois family. Vienna was a lively creative centre at this time. The architectural scene was dominated by Otto Wagner and a rising generation of younger architects, including Josef Hoffmann, Joseph Maria Olbrich and Adolf Loos. Schindler took advantage of this rich architectural scene and seems methodically to have planned his education programme so that he could join this inventive modernist tradition. He attended the Imperial Institute of Engineering (1906–11), and the Akademie der Bildenden Künste, where Wagner was teaching (1909–14). In 1911 he also worked as a draughtsman in the office of Hans Mayer and Theodor M. Mayer. In 1912 he met Richard Neutra.
