Walter Burley Griffith (1876 - 1937)
American architect, landscape designer, and city planner whose most ambitious work was the Australian Federal Capital, Canberra. After studying at the University of Illinois, Urbana, Griffin worked in Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural studio at Oak Park. There he met the architect-renderer Marion Mahony, whom he married in 1911. Early in 1912 Griffin won an international competition to plan the new Federal Capital of Australia, Canberra.
