Architecture's Odd Couple: Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson

In American architectural terms, the twentieth century can be largely summed up with two names: Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson. Wright (1867-1959) began it with his romantic prairie style; Johnson (1906-2005) brought down the curtain with his spare postmodernist experiments. Between them, they built some of the most admired and discussed buildings in American history. In Architecture's Odd Couple, Howard deftly traces the historical threads connecting the two men, presenting an arresting portrait of modern architecture's odd couple and how they shaped the American landscape by shaping each other.
