From the low-lying Prairie Houses of the Midwest to the textile-block houses that dot the landscape around Los Angeles, Frank Lloyd Wright's timeless works characterize the American vistas on which they rest. Throughout his eighty-year career, wright designed buildings in more than thirty states, often looking to nature for example and inspiration. This diversity of locale has informed Wright's ever-changing architectural style- from the upside-down ziggurat that forms the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City to "Fallingwater," a private home of groundbreaking organic design in the hills of Pennsylvania.
The Life and Works of Frank Lloyd Wright contains more than 200 full-color photographs, which are being published here for the first time, and depict the six major phases of Wright's career.
Collected inside is every facet of a fascinating life, including Wright's Childhood and family life, earliest works and influences, and the legacy he left after eighty years of architectural innovation.
