Part of an exhaustive three-volume monograph featuring all of
Wright's 1,100 designs, both realized and unrealized. This volume
covers the postwar years and the "living architecture" period.
Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was one of the fathers of modern
architecture; his work helped define the modern era, had a
widespread cultural influence, and remains highly influential
today, half a century after his demise. The mature work of his
final years is the subject of this monograph, including all his
designs from that period, even those never built. Based on
unlimited access to the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives in Taliesin,
Arizona, this penetrating study gives an unrivaled overview of
Wright's groundbreaking work and eventual "starchitect"
status-included are drawings he made for an unrealized house
intended for Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller. Together with two
forthcoming companion titles, this monograph will cover Wright's
entire oeuvre, from his early Prairie Houses, through the Usonian
concept home and "living architecture" buildings, to late projects
like the Guggenheim Museum and his fantastic vision of the "living
city." Author Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, who served as Wright's
apprentice during the 1950s, highlights the latest research and
gives fresh insights into the work, providing new dates for many of
the plans and houses. A wealth of personal photos also illustrates
the working routine at Frank Lloyd Wright's fellowship. This volume
starts in 1943, when Wright's organic "living architecture"
introduced ideas for the use of solar energy and curved open
spaces. In addition to many private projects and the Guggenheim
Museum, the period up to 1959 includes Wright's astonishing plans
for a new Baghdad; his only realized high-rise tower in
Bartlesville, Oklahoma; the crystal figure of the Beth Sholom
Synagogue in Pennsylvania; and plans for an endless row of houses
with floor plans based on hexagons.
