Product Description

Review

"The architect-client relationship between Frank Lloyd Wright and Tom Monaghan may be unique in history in view of the fact that one of the principals was, from the beginning, no longer living. Wright has been present only as a perhaps unquiet spirit whose work, as Monaghan admires it, must be translated into physical reality by a second architect—in this case, Gunnar Birkerts. Leaving aside any assessment of the effectiveness of that three-sided relationship, one cannot help but be sorry that Wright and Monaghan were not able to work together in life. They were clearly made for each other."—from the Foreword

Product Description

Domino’s Mansion tells of the fulfillment of Tom Monaghan’s wish to house Domino’s Pizza, Inc., in a headquarters building in a rural setting as a tribute to Frank Lloyd Wright’s prairie idiom and its blend of "roofscapes and landscapes." The result was the "Prairie House" Gunnar Birkerts designed for a 300-acre site near Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The lavish photography of "Prairie House" is predominantly by Balthazar Korab.

Great story of one of our time's best architects, Frank Lloyd Wright, & his building of the Domino's Mansion in a way that was harmonious with nature. Easy to read, lots of great photos as well. Excellent book.
