Ray Kappe
American, 1927 - 2019
Although Ray Kappe (1927-2019) embodied South California Modernism perhaps more than any other architect, he was always resistant to the label. He created more than 100 buildings in his unmistakable style, with its clean lines and open construction. These works redefined architecture in the mid-20th century, busting years worth of clichés. In contrast to Modernism, Kappe did embrace the term "modern" for its implication of timeliness - an essential characteristic of Kappe's work, then as now. Kappe began to experiment early on, using modular, prefabricated elements, and never stopped questioning the predominant status quo in architecture. His lifelong fascination with nature was present in all his designs, which prioritized the building's location and intended use. Kappe's pragmatism, which resulted in the construction of effortless spaces and the use of sustainable materials, was revolutionary for his time.
