Architecture's odd couple : Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson
Howard, Hugh, 1952-2016
Book
In architectural terms, the twentieth century can be largely summed up with two names: Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson. Wright began it with his romantic prairie style; Johnson brought down the curtain with his spare postmodernist experiments. Between them, they built some of the most admired and discussed buildings in American history. In 'Architecture's Odd Couple', Howard deftly traces the historical threads connecting the two men and offers readers a distinct perspective on the era they so enlivened with their designs.
