Australia
Griffith's Griffin and the Japanese Print Affair
Description
If you've flown over Canberra in 'Australia 1' you may recognise the hand of architect Walter Burley Griffin in the layout of Griffith. Griffin designed Griffith in 1914, contemporaneously with his work on Australia's capital, Canberra. From 1901-06 he worked in Frank Lloyd Wright's office, practicing the 'Prairie School' of modernist design, which emphasised a break with history, as if that were desirable or even possible. Wright and Griffin parted ways with Wright in 1906 over the "Japanese Print Affair". Such are the conceits and foibles of 20th century 'isms'!
