First paperback edition. *** "'One hundred years from now, people will look at his ideas, his principles, his forms, and see--with wonder and amazement--that those ideas are still fresh, vibrant, applicable, and intensely prophetic.'--Olgivanna Lloyd Wright (1969). Nearly twenty years later, this exhibition of Frank Lloyd Wright's principles and forms validates Mrs. Wright's prophecy highlighting his ideas--the foundation of his achievement. Part 1 of the book, prepared by Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, contains four sections defined by Wright's own words: 'The Destruction of the Box: The Freedom of Space'; 'The Nature of the Site'; 'Materials and Methods'; and 'The Architecture of Democracy.' The 150 illustrations in this part (86 in full color), are dazzling visions of what was but is no more, what was planned but never built, as well as those architectural treasures that continue to enrich and challenge our society. The illustrations are accompanied by quotations from Frank Lloyd Wright that demonstrate how his ideas found expression in his designs. Part 2 contains 5 essays that serve to increase our awareness and appreciation of Frank Lloyd Wright's contribution: Jack Quinan, 'Frank Lloyd Wright in 1893: The Chicago Context'; Aaron Green, 'Organic Architecture: The Principles of Frank Lloyd Wright'; E. T. Casey, 'Structure in Organic Architecture'; Narciso Menocal, 'Frank Lloyd Wright's Architectural Democracy: An American Jeremiad'; and Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, 'The Second Career: 1924-1959.' An appendix provides full descriptions of the works in part 1, including notes on media, methods, and measurements. / Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer is Director of Archives of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. Mr. Pfeiffer is editor and author of many books about Frank Lloyd Wright, including Letters to Apprentices, Letters to Architects, Letters to Clients, Frank Lloyd Wright: The Guggenheim Correspondence, and Treasures of Taliesin." - Publisher.

Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "This extraordinary book presents thirty-eight of the most renowned and significant buildings of America's premier architect, from his early Prairie work in Oak Park, Illinois, in the 1890s to his daring creations of the 1940s and 1950s. In entirely new photographs taken especially for this book by two leading architectural photographers under the direction of co-editor David Larkin, such internationally famous buildings as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Fallingwater and Wright's homes Taliesin, Taliesin West, and the Oak Park Home and Studio are seen afresh, benefiting from the photographers' special access. Several lesser-known residences, such as Auldbrass Plantation in South Carolina, an array of wooden buildings that is Wright's American alternative to antebellum architecture, the William H. Winslow house in River Forest, Illinois, one of the architect's earliest and most surprisingly decorative houses, and the Kenneth Laurent house in Rockford, Illinois, a masterful curvilinear design, are seen in full color and demonstrate dimensions of Wright's work less often seen before. Public buildings, such as the dramatic concrete, glass, and steel Marin County Civic Center and Beth Sholom Synagogue show Wright as engineering virtuoso as well as creative architect. In addition to these existing masterworks, only the most famous of which are open to the public, the book covers buildings that have been demolished, notably the Larkin Company Administration Building, Midway Gardens, and the Imperial Hotel, which are represented here by drawings and rich archival photographs. Each of the buildings is presented from conceptual sketch, plan, or drawing to finished masterwork, and each is accompanied by an in-depth essay detailing the development of the work. Extensive quotes from Wright's writings, unpublished talks, and private letters to the clients give valuable insight into the architect's own thinking about each commission. Never before has Wright's architecture been presented so elaborately in one volume. / Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer was an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright and is currently a trustee and Director of the Archives for the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona. He is the author of Frank Lloyd Wright Drawings and Treasures of Taliesin and editor of the highly praised series The Collected Writings of Frank Lloyd Wright. David Larkin is the co-author and designer of such celebrated illustrated books as Classic America and Shaker and publisher of Barn and Wooden Ship. Paul Rocheleau and Michael Freeman have contributed the new photography included in this book." - Publisher. Size: 4to.…
