Wallace Harrison - Biocrawler (288 words) |
 | Harrison started his professional career with the firm of Corbett, Harrison and MacMurray participating in the construction of Rockefeller Center, and Harrison is best known for executing large public projects in New York City and upstate, many of them a result of his long and fruitful personal relationship with Nelson Rockefeller. |
| Architecturally, Harrison's major projects are marked by straightforward planning and sensible functionalism, although his residential side-projects show more experimental and humane flair. |
| In 1931 Harrison established an 11 acre (45,000 m²) summer retreat in West Hills, New York, which was a very early example and workshop for the International Style in the United States, and a social and intellectual center of architecture, art, and politics. |
