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.
