More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Frank Lloyd Wright was the first great American architect. His buildings are ruggedly individualistic, often single-family homes, and even when he devised utopian schemes for larger numbers of people he still envisaged homes on large plots of land. In the course of his career he designed about a thousand structures. His designs included skyscrapers, gas stations, churches, as well as hundreds of individual houses. This volume balances a biography with an analysis of Wright's influence as an architect and designer.

No frills Wright
30 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback
For those who would like to know more about Mr. Wright, this is the starting point. It reminds me of an extended encyclopedia entry. It's very accurate, complete and straight forward. It's a complex story of murder, arson, hubris, womanizing, and genius. It's rolled out in a very interesting and, if brief, authoritative and digestable form.
I recommend it for those of high school age and beyond. Unfortunately it does not contain any photos of Mr. Wright's works. The line drawings are just OK.
