Description
An American icon, Frank Lloyd Wright left an indelible mark on contemporary architecture, with his ‘organic architecture’ philosophy influencing the work of architects around the world up to this day. This comprehensive monograph offers a complete view of the master’s work, from the most renowned designs to his lesser-known projects. Apart from famous buildings like the Guggenheim Museum or the Fallingwater residence (now museum), the book also features archival drawings, plans, and a complete list of Wright’s projects.
In this revised an updated edition, author Robert McCarter, architect and Ruth and Norman Moore Professor of Architecture at Washington University in St. Louis, provides a thorough analysis of Wright’s work. Each project is examined with a focus on the buildings’ relationship to nature and the local setting, spatial experience, and material choices. Beautifully designed, Phaidon’s Frank Lloyd Wright book is the ideal gift for fans of the legendary architect as well as architecture lovers in general.
