Marion Mahony Griffin

Edited by Debora Wood

Foreword by David Alan Robertson

Chicago-born architect Marion Mahony Griffin (1871-1961) is known primarily for a magnificent drafting style that incorporated architectural plans into dramatic and stylized landscapes. Yet standard histories of early twentieth-century architecture have not fully recognized her pioneering work, which went far beyond her early contributions to the Prairie School. Marion Mahony Griffin: Drawing the Form of Nature is the first book devoted to Mahony Griffin's graphic work and presents a new critical interpretation of her art.
