"Monaghan is an admirer of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture, and the Domino's headquarters in Ann Arbor Township, Michigan, strongly resembles Wright's Prairie School architecture adapted to a larger scale. The headquarter's address of 24 Frank Lloyd Wright Drive also shows Monaghan's admiration. He has been one of the foremost collectors of Wright artifacts, including an oak dining room table and chairs for which he paid $1.6 million. He purchased a portion of Drummond Island in Michigan, where he created a private resort complex featuring buildings designed in the style of Wright, and later sold it to Clifton Haley and Denny Bailey.

We planned to make the major changes before we moved in and did, after many delays, and after a movers' strike ended, but in early 1975 we were still eating off sawhorses. We thought we had come a long way, but work had just begun.Little did I know that it would become a love-hate affair, for the first seven years were most trying though slowly the repose and beauty of the house began to captivate me. I had no inkling that ethics would play a role in maintaining, owning, and being owned by a Wright house. Nor did I have any idea as to the varied sacrifices the house would demand. We certainly had no idea that a Wright boom was coming and with it a stream of visitors."--prologue ; AS NEW. Book.…

The extraordinary achievements of French landscape design in the seventeenth century have yet to be surpassed; this is due in large part to Andre Le Notre, 'the greatest landscape architect the world has ever seen' writes Vincent Scully in the introduction. As director of gardening under Louis XIV, Le Notre was responsible for giving France a new physical and symbolic structure, forming her gardens as images of a new nation at continental scale. From the theatricality of Vaux-le-Vicomte to the quiet charm of Maintenon, his designs - many of them still intact today - are the enduring legacey of the Grand Siecle. Photographer Jeannie Baubion-Mackler has studied the gardens of Le Notre and approaches her work with the same attention to scale and balance as the great 'jardiniste' himself. The images are a splendid homage to his vision and the precepts of the Age of Reason.…
