Description

Frank Lloyd Wright is not just synonymous with architecture, his name could also be synonymous with the American house in the twentieth century. In particular, his residential work has been the subject of continuing interest and controversy. Wright’s Fallingwater (1935), the seminal masterpiece perched over a waterfall deep in the Pennsylvania highlands, is in all probability the most efficient-known private house in the history of the world. If truth be told, Wright’s houses-from his Prairie style Robie House (1906) in Chicago, to the Storer (1923) and Freeman (1923) houses in Los Angeles, and Taliesen West (1937) in the Arizona desert-are all touchstones of up to date architecture. For the first time, all 289 extant houses are shown here in exquisite color photographs. In conjunction with Weintraub’s stunning photos and a collection of floor plans and archival images, the book includes text and essays by several leading Wright scholars. Frank Lloyd Wright: The Houses is an event of great importance and a massive contribution to the literature in this titan of up to date architecture.
