Lloyd Wright, whose work is modern. What is the point he makes in comparing Frank Lloyd
Wright's work to that of Borromini and other Baroque architects? Answer: Many of
Wright's buildings have Baroque traits. He works with contrasting forms, curves which change
from concave to convex, and interpenetrating architectural volumes

makes a number of references to Palladio's work but devotes several pages in particular to his
Villa Foscari of which Rasmussen observes: Similar characteristics as those noted in
class- well proportioned rooms which all relate to each other and to the whole in an integral way.
