brief_description
An exploration of the life and work of the most famous architect of our time, and one of the few architects ever to be widely admired by both critics and the general public. It discusses at length his major buildings: from his own house--an "exploded" Dutch Colonial in Santa Monica--to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, which has almost single-handedly transformed contemporary architecture.
