The first in-depth study of one of the seminal works of America's
most renowned twentieth-century architect, first published in 1996,
is now available in paperback. In this study, Joseph Siry examines
the building in the light of Wright's earlier religious
architecture, his methods of design, and his innovative
construction techniques, particularly the use of reinforced
concrete which was here exploited and expressively deployed for the
first time. He also sets Unity Temple against the tradition of the
liberal Unitarian and Universalist religious culture, the
institutional history of the affluent Oak Park congregation that
commissioned the building, as well as the social context in which
structure was conceived and built. Throughout, Unity Temple is
treated as a work of art that embodies both Wright's theory of
architecture and his liberal religious ideals.
