idiosyncratic architecture

A magnificent, yet humble display of drawings and designs for an absolute architecture. Joseph Henry Wythe has been overlooked and undervalued as one of our greatest living architects. A student and proponent of Bruce Goff's philosophy on design....Wythe has created a body of work that frankly inspires.The books doesn't have much text, just enough to cue you in to what his design methodology might be. Instead the book is filled with plans, elevations, and perspectives which clearly depict a man of great genius. Certainly of the keenest architects I have ever stumbled on.I bought my copy out of pure luck...I'm a fan of Mr. Goff and read someplace this books' connection to a indigenous american architecture, Luckily for me I took the chance, and wouldn't hestitate to highly recommend this book to you.If you like organic architecture, Bruce Goff, Frank Lloyd Wright, alternative architecture, architectures connection to music or drawings......then you should buy this book it's a real crowd pleaser.
