Frank Lloyd Wright

Taschen's authoritative coffee-table book "Frank Lloyd Wright" provides unlimited access to the archives containing the paradigm-shifting projects of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Traversing the length and breadth of Wright's career, the book presents all the gems of the genius among architects.

A building by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is unmistakably individual and at the same time representative of an entire era. Wright's designs, known for their exceptional understanding of an organic environment and the use of steel and glass to revolutionize the interface between interior and exterior, helped herald the era of modernity just as they established his own name in the annals of architectural genius.

This meticulous compilation of TASCHEN's earlier three-volume monograph gathers the most important works from Wright's vast, paradigm-shifting oeuvre into one authoritative and accessibly priced survey of America's most famous architect. Based on unrestricted access to the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives in Taliesin, Arizona, the collection spans the length and breadth of Wright's projects, both realized and unrealized, from his early Prairie Houses, through the Usonian concept home epitomized by Fallingwater, the Tokyo years, his progressive "living architecture" buildings, to later plans such as the Guggenheim Museum, New York, and fantastic visions for a better future in the "living city."
