Zusammenfassung:"In 1897, Frank Lloyd Wright, Robert Spencer, Dwight Perkins, and Myron Hunt, all young architects just starting out in practice, shared office space in Chicago. This book is both a history of that brief period and an attempt to assess the extent to which they collaborated on their architectural designs and on the creation of architectural theory that would impact a half century of architectural design. This study engages in a side-by-side comparison of projects they each designed while working in the loft of Chicago's Steinway Hall. Overlapping ideas, design similarities, and an analysis of their subsequent work, all suggest that these colleagues formed a creative "collaborative circle" of friends, who jointly developed the ideas underlying their work. This is a book about artistic collaboration at a time when discussions of art and architectural history are still largely dominated by the cult of the individual genius".
