A propos de cet article

191, [1] pages. Illustrations (some in color). Griffin Chronology. Selected Bibliography. Index. Sticker residue on back cover. This is a heavy, oversized book that if sent outside of the United States will require additional shipping charges. This work was published in conjunction with the exhibition Beyond Architecture: Marion Mahony and Walter Burley Griffin in America, Australia and India at the Powerhouse Museum 22 July 1998 - May 1999. Among the contributors are Paul Kruty, Paul Sprague, Anna Rubbo, James Weirick, Christopher Vernon, Jeffry Turnbull, Peter Navaretti, and David Dolan. Anne Watson is a former Powerhouse Museum curator of architecture and design. Areas of specialization include 19th & 20th century furniture history and design and 20C architecture, particularly the work of Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, and the Sydney Opera House focusing on the work of Utzon's successor Peter Hall (Ph.D. thesis). Walter Burley Griffin is best known in Australia for his connection with the design of the national capital, Canberra. Beyond architecture reveals the place of Walter Burley Griffin and his wife Marion Mahony, both as a couple and as individuals, in architectural and design history. Eminent authors from Australia and North America discuss the remarkable careers and lives of these two fascinating architects. They take us on a professional and spiritual journey from the Griffins' years in the office of Frank Lloyd Wright in turn-of-the-century Chicago and successful independent practice in North America, to Australia in their pursuit of an ideal civic democracy, and finally to a revitalized practice in India, dramatically cut short by Walter's untimely death in 1937. During the forty or so years of their architectural practice, the Griffins embarked on over 350 buildings, landscape and urban design projects as well as designing interior spaces, furniture, lighting, floor coverings and tableware. But their legacy extends beyond the architectural--the democratic, social and environmental ideals which informed their work and lives continue to inspire." From the back cover. The contents include: Griffin Chronology; Chicago 1900: The Griffins Come of Age / Paul Kruty; Marion Mahony as Originator of Griffin's Mature Style: Fact or Myth? / Paul Sprague; Marion Mahony: A Larger than Life Presence / Anna Rubbo; Spirituality and Symbolism in the Work of the Griffins / James Weirick; The Landscape Art of Walter Burley Griffin / Christopher Vernon; Dreams of Equity, 1911-1924 / Jeffrey Turnbull; The Inside Story: Furniture and Lighting / Anne Watson; Creating a Modern Architecture for India / Paul Kruty; Pyrmont Incinerator and its Precedents / Peter Y.
