A building by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is both recognizable and resonates with an entire era. Distinguished for his exceptional understanding of the organic environment, as well as for his use of steel and glass which revolutionized the connection between interior and exterior space, Wright's designs helped herald the age of modern architecture, as well as secure his name in the announcements of architectural genius. This careful collection from TASCHEN's earlier three-volume monograph brings together the most important works from Wright's extensive, transformative legacy in an authentic and accessible overview of America's most famous architect. Based on unlimited access to the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives in Taliesin, Arizona, the collection covers the range of Wright’s works, both realized and unrealized, from the early Prairies he created, to the concept of the Usonian house, expressed by Fallingwater, his Tokyo years, the progressive "living architecture" buildings, to later designs such as the Guggenheim Museum, New York, and the visionary visions for a better tomorrow in the "living city." Author Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, who served as Wright's apprentice in the 1950s, discusses recent research on Wright and offers his own insights on these revolutionary buildings.
