The Master Architect series III: Michael Graves - Selected and Current Works --- Buildings designed by Michael Graves have been in the news for several decades now and have increasingly become paret of the public consciousness as they start to mark skylines acrosss the globe. What Graves has done - which assures him a place in the history of architecture, has been to take large=scale building design out of a tried pattern of latae Modeornism and recharage it with color, figure, pattern and a sense of formal play that has made his buildings more recognizable from a distance and more accessible to the individual, all the while furthering his own development as an artist.
