This summer the architect John Lautner would have turned 100. Lautner lived in Los Angeles but his sense of design and space was rooted in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where he was born, raised and attended college. His family built a cabin on the shore of Lake Superior when he was twelve and he said of that experience that he learned all he needed to know about architecture. Hear about the life and work of John Lautner this week on Points North. Peter Payette talks with Nicholas Olsberg, a historian who contributed to the 2008 exhibition and publication, Between Earth and Heaven: The Architecture of John Lautner.
