He was the most iconoclastic of architects, and at the height of
his career his output of writings about architecture was as
prolific and visionary as his architecture itself. Frank Lloyd
Wright pioneered a bold new kind of architecture, one in which the
spirit of modern man truly "lived in his buildings." "The Essential
Frank Lloyd Wright" is a one-volume compendium of Wright's most
critically important--and personally revealing--writings on every
conceivable aspect of his craft.
Wright was perhaps the most influential and inspired architect
of the twentieth century, and this is the only book that gathers
all of his most significant essays, lectures, and articles on
architecture. Bruce Pfeiffer includes each piece in its entirety to
present the architect's writings as he originally intended them.
Beginning early in Wright's career with "The Art and Craft of the
Machine" in 1901, the book follows major themes through "The
Disappearing City, The Natural House," and many other writings, and
ends with A" Testament" in 1957, published two years before his
death. This volume is beautifully illustrated with original
drawings and photographs, and is complemented by Pfeiffer's general
introduction, which provides history and context. "The Essential
Frank Lloyd Wright" is a must-have resource for architects and
scholars and a delight for general readers.
