Description

"In the BBC film, Kings of Infinite Space, Charles Jencks debated with Michael Graves and Philip Johnson the merits of Pre-Modern and Post-Modern architecture. This 'book of the film' fills out the whole debate in much greater detail showing the work of the two great American architects--Frank Lloyd Wright and Michael Graves--and connects this up with their sometimes chaotic private lives."--Book cover
