Marion Mahony Griffin: A Force of Nature
An extraordinary graphic artist, architect, and landscape architect, Marion Mahony Griffin was no less than a force of nature and today is approaching legendary status. Turning her world upside down in 1914, she, along with her husband Walter Burley Griffin, relocated from Chicago to Sydney to orchestrate the realisation of their prize-winning design for Australias capital city, Canberra. Long fascinated with and inspired by the natural world, Marion, like Walter before her, soon grew enraptured with the Australian landscape. In this illustrated lecture, Christopher Vernon surveys her little known practice as a landscape architect.
