Description

In the exclusionary world of high modern architecture, it is disconcerting to discover that two icons both admired the work of Sir Edwin Lutyens - an architect who had little or no interest in modernism. Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright shared a common fascination for his work. This polemical text is an account of why this occurred. By exposing common aesthetic and structural themes in the architecture of these three giants, the author explains why Wright and Corb may have shared more common ground with Lutyens than with much of the world of contemporary modernism.
