John Howe always said that he lived two lifetimes in architecture. The first began at age 19 when he joined the founding class of apprentices at Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin Fellowship in Spring Green, Wisconsin. The second started when he opened a practice of his own in Minneapolis in 1967. Over these decades, Howe became one of the finest architectural illustrators of the 20th century-and a design visionary himself. As Wright's chief draftsperson from the mid-1930s until Wright's death in 1959, Howe probably understood the intentions and nuances of his mentor better than anyone in the world. John H. Howe, Architect is a compelling story of Howe's daily collaboration with Wright and the evolution of the Taliesin Fellowship from its nadir in the Great Depression to its renewed fame with projects such as Fallingwater and the Guggenheim.

机译:约翰·豪威(John Howe)总是说他在建筑界住了两个生命。第一次学习始于19岁,当时他加入了位于威斯康星州Spring Green的Frank Lloyd Wright的Taliesin奖学金的创始班。第二次是从1967年他在明尼阿波利斯(Minneapolis)开设自己的事务所开始的。在这几十年中,豪成为了20世纪最优秀的建筑插图画家之一,并且是一名设计有远见的画家。作为赖特从1930年代中期到赖特于1959年去世的首席起草人,豪可能比世界上任何人都更了解导师的意图和细微差别。建筑师John H. Howe讲述了Howe与Wright的日常合作以及Taliesin Fellowship从大萧条中的最低点发展到以Fallingwater和Guggenheim等项目闻名的新故事。
