Frank Furness: Architecture and the Violent Mind

By Michael J. Lewis

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. 200 black & white illustrations
