Publisher Description: Aaron G. Green, FAIA, was an internationally known organic architect of "striking originality and grace." His diversified architectural works include residential, commercial, industrial, municipal, judicial, religious, interment, mass housing, and educational projects. Aaron had a uniquely close relationship with Frank Lloyd Wright, serving as Wright's West Coast representative for many years. When asked who Aaron was, Wright commented, "Aaron Green is my son." This 448-page biography with over 700 images--gold medal winner of the 2018 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award for Art & Photography books--includes many previously unpublished drawings from the Aaron Green archives, which encompass just a fraction of the work and influence of Aaron's life. This monograph showcases thirty-nine projects that encapsulate the essence of his drive - to create beautiful organic architecture true to the land, the building, and those who enjoy the spaces he created. |
