Frank Lloyd Wright

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