Arthur Erickson - An Architect's Life (Paperback)

Arthur Erickson, Canada's preeminent philosopher-architect, was
renowned for his innovative approach to landscape, his genius for
spatial composition and his epic vision of architecture for people.
Erickson worked chiefly in concrete, which he called "the marble of
our times," and wherever they appear, his buildings move the spirit
with their poetic freshness and their mission to inspire. Erickson
was also a controversial figure, more than once attracting the ire
of his fellow architects, and leading a complicated personal life
that resulted in a series of bankruptcies. In a fall from grace
that recalls a Greek tragedy, Canada's great architect -- a
handsome, elegant man who lived like a millionaire and counted
among his close friends Pierre Trudeau and Elizabeth Taylor --
eventually became penniless. Arthur Erickson is both an intimate
portrait of the man and a stirring account of how he made his
buildings work.
