Synopsis

Grendon, 1990 - Architecture - 142 pages "The most significant thing to be said about this superb volume is that it is unique, that it continually rewards us with information to which no book on Frank Lloyd Wright is remotely comparable. At its beginning, Aaron Green describes it as 'an unfolding drama...Every episode of this project was dramatic. It was a sense of the dramatic impact of this building complex on the community, the realization that it was an enduring example of Frank Lloyd Wright's principles in building for democracy, which prompted me to develop this book.' Frank Lloyd Wright himself would have regarded this a distinguished book."--Ben Raeburn. Ben Raeburn was a longtime personal friend of Frank Lloyd Wright. As Horizon Press publisher, he published many of Mr. Wright's most important books. "Aaron Green's recollections of the creation of the Marin County Civic Center are pure gold to everyone who seeks the essence of Frank Lloyd Wright."--Allan Temko, Pulitzer Prize Winning Architectural Critic: SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE.
