Description
This meticulous compilation from TASCHEN’s previous three-volume monograph assembles crucial works from Wright’s extensive, paradigm-shifting oeuvre into one authoritative and accessibly priced overview of The united states’s most famous architect. Based on unlimited access to the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives in Taliesin, Arizona, the collection spans the length and breadth of Wright’s projects, both realized and unrealized, from his early Prairie Houses, through the Usonian concept home, epitomized by Fallingwater, the Tokyo years, his progressive “living architecture” buildings, all over to later schemes like the Guggenheim Museum, New York, and unbelievable visions for a better the following day in the “living city.”
Creator Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, who served as Wright’s apprentice right through the 1950s, discusses up to date research on Wright and gives his own insights on these game-changing buildings.
