The nonprofit MAK Center for Art and Architecture has acquired R.M. Schindler's renowned Modernist Fitzpatrick-Leland House, reports the New York Times. It was a gift from Russ Leland, who bought it in 1990 and spent years restoring it to its original design. The three-level L-shaped house, with interlocking volumes, was built on a cliff near the intersection of Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Mullholland Drive. The center plans to use the house for its new Urban Future Initiative program, which grants residencies to researchers of urban issues such as sustainability and immigration.
