Michael P. Johnson is an internationally acclaimed architect and one of the founders of Desert Modernism in Arizona. His personal journey is the story of exploration, study and experience. He chose to take the solitary path to self development, skipping formal architectural education to read, travel and learn from the masters of architecture, learning by doing. His encounters and friendships with Wright, Geoff, Soleri, Rudolf and Kahn exposed him to their personalities, philosophies and built work.
The book, about the life work of Architect Michael P. Johnson, speaks directly of his regional buildings in both his native Wisconsin in his early career through the work after the migration to Arizona. It also expands upon his work in New York, Colorado, California in the US and further in Canada, Mexico and Italy. In addition, it examines the methodology of Michael’s involvement in teaching at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture for 25 years. One of few books that explores the benefits good architecture can have on our everyday lives.
