Amazon.com description: Product Description: The Wright stuff: The definitive publication on Americaâs greatest architect
Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is widely considered to be the greatest American architect of all time; indeed, his work virtually ushered in the modern era and remains highly influential today. His wide-ranging and paradigm-shifting oeuvre is the subject of TASCHENâs three-volume monograph that covers all of his designs (numbering approximately 1100), both realized and unrealized.
Made in cooperation with the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives in Taliesin, Arizona, this collection leaves no stone unturned in examining and paying tribute to Wrightâs life and work. From his early Prairie Houses (typified by the Robie House) to the Usonian concept home and progressive âliving architectureâ buildings to late projects like the spiral Guggenheim Museum in New York and the development of his fantastic vision of a better tomorrow via his concept of the âliving city,â all of the phases of Wrightâs career are painstakingly described and illustrated herein.
Volume 1 covers the early Chicago years and the Prairie Houses, the period which provoked a profound influence on European architects. Wrightâs architectural work during these early years was mostly residential, as it would be throughout his career, and from his earliest work, Frank Lloyd Wright demonstrated a knowledge of and respect for natural materials. In the ten years between 1896 and 1906 he developed and perfected the so-called âprairie house.â Wright believed the architect should have complete charge of architectural design, and for him this meant interior furnishings as well as exterior landscape. The 1908 Avery Coonley residence, the administration building for the Larkin Soap Company (1903â1905), and the Unity Temple (1905) are examples of major works from the period.
