Walter Burley Griffin in America
Editorial Reviews Midwest Book Review One of the most original architects America has produced, Walter Burley Griffin worked in the shadow of his early colleague and employer, Frank Lloyd Wright. This has obscured Griffin's contributing role in Wright's architecture as well as the superb accomplishments of his own work as architect, landscape architect, and town planner. Walter Burley Griffin In America combines the richly detailed photographs of Mati Maldre and extensive research of Paul Kruty to provide the first complete visual record ever published of Griffin's surviving American work. The volume is accessible to the general reader, and indispensable to historians and students of architecture. Included are nearly 200 photographs of structures and landscapes designed by Griffin. Walter Burley Griffin In America also features a chronological catalog of standing buildings, a list of demolished works, a location guide, and a selected bibliography. Walter Burley Griffin In America is a splendid work of scholarship and a highly recommended addition to all architectural studies collections. Chicago Sun-Times Compelling display. . . . Through Maldre's arresting . . . photography, we see an amazing series of houses and buildings that proclaim Griffin's overlooked genius. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
