The most comprehensive presentation of the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, the most significant American architect. The book showcases thirty-eight of the most well-known and important buildings by the most famous American architect.
From his early years in the 1890s to his bold creations in the 1940s and 1950s: the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the house over the waterfall (Fallingwater), West, the Oak Park (home and studio), the Auldobrass plantation, the William H. Winslow residence, the Marin County Civic Center, the Beth Sholom Synagogue, the Midway Gardens, the Imperial Hotel, etc.
Each building is presented from initial sketches of ideas and designs to the final form of the work, with each accompanied by an analysis with detailed information. Excerpts from Wright's writings, unpublished speeches, and private correspondence provide valuable insight into the architect's own thoughts about each of his works.
Never before has Wright's architecture been presented so thoroughly in a single book.
