A comprehensive monograph on Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the great masters of modern architecture
This comprehensive monograph on the renowned twentieth-century architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, explores both his major architectural designs and many of his minor projects in detail. Robert McCarter analyses Wright’s work chronologically, exploring each building’s spatial experience, material and tectonic character, and relationship to the landscape.
Now in a fully revised and updated new edition, this definitive account of the life and work of the modern master features an extensive selection of archival drawings, specially commissioned photographs, redrawn plans, and detailed drawings, as well as a complete list of Wright’s buildings and projects compiled by the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives.
