Wright on: The star pieces of Americas greatest architect
 

A building by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is at once unmistakably individual, and evocative of a complete era. Notable for their exceptional understanding of an organic environment, in addition to for their use of steel and glass to revolutionize the interface of indoor and outdoor, Wright’s designs helped announce the age of modernity, as much as they secured his own name in the annals of architectural genius.

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.
