Synopsis

Over the past decade, there has been a significant revival of interest in the architecture and designs of Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959). From Barnsdall Park in Los Angeles to the Zimmerman house in New Hampshire, from Florida Southern College to Taliesin in Wisconsin, with Fallingwater in between, Wright buildings open to the public receive thousands of visitors each year, and there is a thriving commerce in reproduction of Wright's furniture and fabric designs. Among the many books available on Wright, William Allin Storrer's classic - now fully revised and updated - remains the only authoritative guide to all of Wright's built work. This edition includes a number of new features. It provides information on Wright buildings discovered since the first edition. It contains full-colour photographs to highlight those buildings that remain essentially as they were first built. To facilitate its use as a convenient field guide, this durable flexibound edition gives full addresses with each entry, as well as GPS coordinates, and offers maps giving the shortest route to each building. Preserving the chronological order of past editions, the catalogue allows readers to trace the progression of Wright's built designs from the early Prairie school works to the last building constructed to Wright's specifications on the original site - the Aime and Norman Lykes residence. "The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright" should be valuable for anyone fascinated with Wright's unique architectural genius.
