Ian Volner has contributed articles on architecture, design, and urbanism to The Wall Street Journal, The New Republic, Harper’s and The New Yorker online, among other publications, and is a contributing editor at Architect and Surface.
"Graves (1934-2015) is now unknown to young architects, but this
book may somehow help revive his figure and part of his oeuvre. It
follows the canonical scheme of the anglophone biography. The
author makes extensive, rigorous use of sources to produce a highly
readable text where emphasis is on the subject and his
circumstances. The story captures the complexity of an architect
who started out as a devoted follower of Le Corbusier and a
worshipper of white, to end up an unbiased promoter of the
Disneyland aesthetic."
