Architecture & Trivia.
We find out in Episode 7 that Karen is an architect with sustainable development credentials.
She designs Bill's house which in truth is the much admired David Hertz-Stacy Fong, McKinley House: a husband and wife architects' own house with passive heating and cooling techniques embedded in the scheme. Both the Ray Kappe, "Benton House" and the McKinley House which is the key set are both published in the Japanese periodical, GA Houses 81 (May 2004). They also share the same alma mater: David Hertz studied at SCI-Arc (Southern California Institute of Architecture) where Ray Kappe was the founding director and Chair of Architecture. For very sharp observers, on Karen's coffee table in episode 9 as she is reading by the fire Charles Bukowski's Sifting Through The Madness for the Word, The Line, The Way: New Poems (2003) is a recent book Venice, CA: Art and Architecture in a Maverick Community (2007) by Michael Webb. Somewhat self-referential as many of the icons of the title sequence and moreover the McKinley House itself is featured in the book.

Life imitates art. This guide was featured in the World's Greenest Homes' feature on the McKinley House The full version: Part 1

Part 2

Karen at work drawing inspiration from Steven Holl's Pamphlet Architecture 1-10 . In the late 1970s and early '80s, Pamphlet Architecture offered a fresh, underground-like alternative to homogenized architectural publishing. Based in New York and San Francisco, masterminded by a young Steven Holl and by bookshop innovator William Stout, the Pamphlets presented notional schemes by a then 30-something clique of intellectual practitioners, men-and one women-who retained a critical faith in certain tenets of Modernism.
To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the founding of Pamphlet Architecture, Princeton Architectural Press reissued the first ten issues—most of which have been long out of print—in one hardcover volume. This graphically stunning and theoretically stimulating collection includes the early works of many of today's best-known architects, including Steven Holl, Lars Lerup, Mark Mack, Lebbeus Woods, Zaha Hadid, Livio Dimitriu, and Alberto Sartoris.

The Pamphlet Architecture series was founded in 1978 by architects Steven Holl and William Stout as a venue for publishing the thoughts and works of a younger generation of architects. Each issue was written, illustrated, and designed by a single architect, which gives each its unique character. The series, which received an American Institute of Architects award, continues to influence new generations of architects as it disseminates new and innovative ideas on architecture and presents the work of the luminaries of tomorrow.

In sereies 3 we see for the first time Karen's dream job relocating her back to New York.

The September 2007 edition of Dwell Magazine sits well thumbed.
Dwell is good. See http://www.dwell.com/homes/new/2877311.html for a Californication reprise.

As for Karen's comment in episode 7 at the Ray Kappe House, "I think it was Ruskin that once said .."Without architecture, there would be no remembering."
This is a reference from John Ruskin's "The Seven Lamps of Architecture" (1849). In Chapter 6 headed 'The Lamp of Memory' Ruskin writes: "It is as the centralization and protectress of this sacred influence, that Architecture is to be regarded by us with the most serious thought. We may live without her, and worship without her, but we cannot remember without her. "

In episode 8 It is not without whimsy or comment that Hank receives a letter from his father in Levittown foretelling his father's final soliloquy to his son.
Hank's father, Al Moody writes from Levittown, NY.
(a real address: Criminal Justice Media!)

Levittown, this modest suburban tract housing became paradigmatic of the post-war suburbs. White picket fences and cookie cutter housing. Is this where Hank grew up?

Denise Scott Brown and Robert Venturi most notably in the 1970's collaborated in theoretical research and education on the nature of cities with their studies "Learning From Las Vegas" and "Learning From Levittown."These projects challenged architects to study the human use and social context of architecture, the role of perception and memory in architecture, and the communicative possibilities of architecture. A primary focus had to do with symbolism and iconography. This turned the authors once again to history, to rediscover facets of architecture forgotten by the Modern movement.

Analyzing developer-built housing, Venturi-Brown & Steve Izenour noted that even bland tract homes came with a staggering array of options, which homeowners embraced with abandon. They also marvelled at advertising copy for postwar suburban developments (''These Houses Are Exactly the Same! They Just Look Different!'').

Charlie & Marcy's House

In Season 2 Episode 2 - "The Great Ashby" Sonja asks Karen, "How would you feel about restoring an original Lautner house with me?"

K-"Don't **** with me."

S-"I'm not; I'm bidding on one tomorrow."
---------------------------------------------------------

This is a reference to the seminal architect, John Lautner, one of the important Californian Modernists who along with architects such as Charles and Ray Eames, Craig Ellwood, Pierre Koenig, Raphael Sorriano and Richard Neutra created some of the iconic West-Coast mid-century houses; See particularly John Entenza's Arts & Architecture (1938-1967) magazine and the Case Study Programme. Lautner was a glaring omission. Lautner was apprenticed to Frank Lloyd Wright and came to California in 1938 and practised there until his death in 1994 aged 83. He was especially known for his bold, soaring, expressive use of concrete and cantilevered sculptural forms. Some of his houses such as the Elrod House, 1968 in Palm Springs featured in films:the James Bond film, Diamonds are Forever, 1971; and 'the Chemosphere',1960 was in Brian de Palma's movie, Body Double, 1984. Recently, The Los Angeles Times featured the Garcia Residence, recently renovated by Marmol Radziner, and the restoration of John Lautner's, Harpel House. There is currently considerable interest among architectural and mid-century enthusiasts to restore and maintain these properties before they are destroyed by redevelopment. The architects Leo Marmol and Ron Radziner of Marmol Radziner notably restored the extraordinary Kaufmann Desert House designed by Richard Neutra (1946) one of the greatest houses built in the twentieth century. Kaufmann's Palm Springs holiday house was a nice complement to his main house, Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece. Marmol Radziner also design very nice prefabs.

Hank Moody

lulamae — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 09:44:41 CST

Hey, Californication superfans!

Click the EasyEdit button above to help create the wiki guide to

the characters of Californication!
(Don't see the EasyEdit button? Sign in or sign up.)

Played by: David Duchovny

Occupation: Writer

Signature look: Black T Shirt or Black Shirt with dark denim jeans.. paired with a sport jacket for dress up or a leather jacket for a more casual look..and of course, the signature sunglasses.
Personality: Pessimistic, self-loathing,loving, spontaneous, brutally honest most of the time

taste: He often wears dark jeans and his favorite black t-shirt; In LOL he is seen wearing a light brown leather jacket which he exacted as payment from Bill for giving a talk to Mia's class. He likes to listen to classic rock.

Hank's backstory:
East Coast kid who came to Hollywood when his book got optioned. Fell into the Los Angeles lifestyle and has been trying to dig himself out ever since.

Back in New York, the seasons grounded him, constantly filling him with hope and disappointment. The bright white blanket and blue skies of the first snowfall, only to turn a grimy grey the next day, awakened his senses; reminding him that life was larger than him. Without him ever knowing it, the seasons moved his internal clock; the crisp air of fall turning increasing cooler and then winter reminding to turn inward. It was this never-ending cycle from which Hank drew upon for his writing. The city of eternal sunshine and perfect bodies numbed his heart and impeded his pen. It is from great angst that best-selling novels are made. Without the seasons providing cover, angst became personal and Hank’s life began to fall apart.

Discuss Hank

VIRTUES AND VICES

Moral values: Only about the truth. Knows the value of a well-stated white lie and truly loves women, flaws and all.

Vice(s): Women, alcohol, cigarettes, ganja, and coke, drama. Extended periods of self-loathing.

Regret(s): Letting Karen get away, moving to California.

Personal Goal(s): To get Karen and Becca back and overcome his writer's block

CHARACTER CONNECTIONS

Karen
Ex-domestic partner; mother of his daughter Becca
About the relationship...It seems that she cannot find a way to live with or without Hank but she loves him.

Becca
Daughter
About the relationship...
Hank knows that in spite of all his failings, Becca is the one thing he knows he did right. As her father, he genuinely understands that he has to get this right the first time...he doesn't get a second chance to go back and raise her again.

Charlie
Agent, best friend
About the relationship...
Friends like this don't come along often, and frankly the female population might get a little jealous if it did. Charlie truly has Hank's back. The fact that he occasionally gets financial benefit from their relationship, Charlie recognizes Hank's talent. Exploiting that talent and its rewards are just a bonus.

Mia
Karen's fiance's underage daughter with whom Hank had a one-night stand
About the relationship...Mia f''d and punched Hank, set him up, stole his book, and started up a relationship with Ashby. Psycopath in training.

HANK QUOTES

Hank: "Daddy's trying out a new look."
Becca: "Are you mentally insane?"
Hank: "Yes, and I'm extremely high-functioning."

Hank (to Charlie): "B*****s."
Hank: "Funky back-tat on the small of the back there, you know what that means."
Charlie: "No"
Hank: "She likes it in the pooper."
Charlie: "Really?"
Hank: "I have no idea, I just wanted to say pooper."
"I may not go down in history, but I will go down on your sister"

"It's not fair to say BRB and then never actually BRB."
"Sweet Baby Jesus, Hank is going to Hell."
"Hey K-Fed, the little man in the boat...he's up here."

HANK'S BEST EPISODES | SCENES

Church scene in the Pilot is beyond awesome.

Fight with Todd Carr in the bookstore of 103 is classic.

Remembering a woman was a squirter before she painted his agent's face.

Flashback scenes in 108.

EPISODE 1, "SLIP OF THE TONGUE"

Episode summary:

Hank is back with Karen, making a go at a healthy, normal relationship - which isn't easy when it seems all the stray trim in Hollywood is lurking just inside his peripheral vision. With his daughter pulling away, he becomes increasingly worried he'll **** up everything he thought he wanted. To top it off, a painful vasectomy drives him to sedation.

When Hank loses his bearing at a party and accidentally winds up in bed with a woman who's not Karen, the fallout gets Hank - and his balls - busted by the authorities.
