Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright, a pivotal figure in American architecture, crafted buildings that are uniquely individual yet reflective of an entire historical period. Renowned for their remarkable harmony with the surrounding environment, his designs also pioneered the integration of steel and glass to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. Wright's innovative approach not only heralded the modern era but also cemented his status as an architectural legend. This detailed compilation by TASCHEN draws from an earlier monograph to present a comprehensive overview of Wright's groundbreaking work. Utilizing unrestricted access to the archives of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation at Taliesin West, Arizona, this collection offers insight into the full spectrum of Wright's projects—both completed and conceptual. From his early prairie houses to the visionary Usonian homes and the iconic Fallingwater, through his time in Tokyo and designs for both administrative and spiritual spaces, to later masterpieces like the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the collection also explores his ambitious ideas for "The Living City," a revolutionary concept for urban living.
