Frank Lloyd Wright is one of the great masters of modern architecture.
His career spanned over 60 years, and his unique stylistic invention
kept ahead of any ephemeral fashion. This definitive monograph provides
an unparalleled account of Wright's momentous career. It explores the
key themes in Wright's work, and presents the consistent qualities that
underlie all of his designs.
The themes of space and spatial experience are examined, together with a
discussion of construction and Wright's search for what he termed the
nature of materials. The relationship between his architecture and the
landscape is also explored with rigour.
This book includes an extensive selection of archival drawings and
photographs; clear, redrawn plans and detail drawings; and beautiful
specially-commissioned, colour photographs. It also features a complete
list of Wright's buildings and projects compiled by the Frank Lloyd
Wright Archives.
