Bibliography. From Wikipedia: W "alter Burley Griffin (born November 24, 
1876 and died February 11, 1937) was an American architect and landscape 
architect, who is best known for his role in designing Canberra, 
Australia's capital city. He has also been credited with the development 
of the L-shaped floor plan, the carport and an innovative use of 
reinforced concrete. Influenced by the Chicago-based Prairie School, 
Griffin went on to develop a unique modern style. For much of his career 
Griffin worked in partnership with his wife Marion Mahony Griffin. In 
the 28 years of their architectural partnership, the Griffins designed 
over 350 buildings, landscape and urban-design projects as well as 
designing construction materials, interiors, furniture and other 
household items. ".... VG+/ VG- $200.00 Sale $130.00 ppd. media U.S.
