Frank Lloyd Wright

<p>A building by <strong>Frank Lloyd Wright </strong>(1867-1959) is at once unmistakably individual, and evocative of an entire era. Notable for their <strong>exceptional understanding of an organic environment</strong>, as well as for their <strong>use of steel and glass to revolutionize the interface of indoor and outdoor</strong>, Wright’s designs helped <strong>announce the age of modernity</strong>, as much as they secured his own name in the annals of architectural genius.<br/><br/> This meticulous compilation from TASCHEN’s previous three-volume monograph assembles the most important works from Wright’s<strong> extensive, paradigm-shifting oeuvre </strong>into one <strong>authoritative and accessibly priced overview of America's most famous architect</strong>. Based on unlimited access to the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives in Taliesin, Arizona<strong>,</strong> the collection spans the length and breadth of Wright’s projects, both realized and unrealized, from his early <strong>Prairie Houses,</strong> through the<strong> Usonian concept home</strong>, epitomized by <strong>Fallingwater</strong>, the Tokyo years, his progressive <strong>“living architecture” </strong>buildings, right through to later schemes like the <strong>Guggenheim Museum</strong>, New York, and fantastic visions for a better tomorrow in the <strong>“living city.”</strong><br/><br/> Author <strong>Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer</strong>, who served as <strong>Wright’s apprentice</strong> during the 1950s, discusses recent research on Wright and gives his own insights on these game-changing buildings.</p>
