A propos de cet article

The format is approximately 8.25 inches by 10.25 inches. 384 pages. Illustrated endpapers. Illustrations (some in color). Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling Bottom corner of pages 183/184 slightly creased. Includes A Biographical Sketch; Poor Little American Architecture (previously unpublished); Modern Architecture, Being the Kahn Lectures (Princeton University); Two Lectures on Architecture (Art Institute of Chicago); and An Autobiography (Books One, Two and Three). Frank Lloyd Wright Sr. (June 8, 1867 - April 9, 1959) was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years. Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing architects worldwide through his works and hundreds of apprentices in his Taliesin Fellowship.

Any architect should be radical by nature because it is not enough for him to begin where others have left off. From An Autobiography: A house of the North. The whole was low, wide and snug, a broad shelter seeking fellowship with its surroundings. A house that could open to the breezes of summer and become like an open camp if need be. With Spring came music on the roofs for there were few dead spaces overhead, and the broad eaves so sheltered the windows that they were safely left open to the sweeping, soft air of the rain. Taliesin was grateful for care. Took what grooming it got and repaid it all with interest. Taliesin's order was such that when all was clean and in place its countenance beamed, wore a happy smile of well-being and welcome for all. It was intensely human, I believe.…
