Marion Mahoney Griffin

I love architectural drawings probably more than any other type of art and these ones by Marion Mahoney Griffin are simply so gorgeous! A colleague of Frank Lloyd Wright's and the second woman to graduate from MIT in architecture, she is a very important part of the history of American architecture and the Prarie School. I would love to have these hanging on my walls- heavily inspired by traditional Japanese printmaking yet undeniably modern these drawings are so realistic and dreamlike at the same time.
