Frank Furness
Architecture and the Violent Mind
11 April 2001
Description
Frank Furness' energy, confidence, brashness, vulgarity, and full-throated love of life vibrate in his architecture.
This first biography details his abolitionist upbringing in staid Philadelphia, the horror of war and its translation into aggressive architecture - train stations, banks, and libraries - and illuminates his influence on his century and the world.
