Walter Burley Griffin

Marion Mahony, whose draftsmanship and renderings will prove essential to how the world first sees Wright's buildings and who will become one of the first licensed female architects in the United States.

Walter Burley Griffin, who will later design the plan for Australia's capital city, Canberra.

William Drummond, Barry Bern.

They come to Forest Avenue because word has begun to spread through the small, tightly knit world of Chicago architecture that something unusual is happening in that octagonal room with the glass dome ceiling, that a new grammar of American building is being worked out sentence by sentence, house by house, and that the man conducting the work, difficult and demanding as he can be, is worth learning from.

Marion Mahony sits at one table, her drawings of foliage and landscape rendered with a delicacy that Wright himself cannot match and does not pretend to.

He has learned, in the way that only a supremely confident man can learn, to surround himself with talents that exceed his own in specific domains, secure that the overall vision, the guiding hand, remains unmistakably his.

Walter Burley Griffin sits at another table, working through site plans with an engineer's precision.

Wright walks behind them, correcting a line here, praising a rendering there, and underneath his confidence runs a current of something else, a restlessness that his staff have learned to read in the set of his shoulders.

... someone in charge.

How long it will last will remain to be seen, but Trump is not a guy that if he says something, whether you like what he says, that's not what we care about here.

Mm.

We're not taking a side.

Explain it.

It's weirdo.

[laughs] Says, says the guy who, uh- [laughs]

Well, there's nothing backs it.

Mm.

Uh, an architect by the name of Walter Burley Griffin.

Mm.

He won an international design competition in 1912.

I love that.

Can you please make sure that you find out about the history of the one that's believed to be designed by Walter Burley Griffin, that amazing one?

Yes.

Yeah.
