Descrizione

Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - This the first book to focus exclusively on the seven houses and ten other structures that Wright designed for himself and his family. Free from the constraints of the client-architect relationship, these buildings present Wright at his unfettered best. Photographed in exquisite, full-color panoramic views by longtime Wright photographer Roger Straus, these images capture the buildings as part of the landscape -the way Wright envisioned them. As well, Hugh Howard's insightful text reveals an intimate understanding bf the great architect's art and philosophy. The book features the three residences Wright built for himself-his home and Studio in suburban Oak Park, Illinois; Taliesin; and Taliesin West-as well as the houses for his sons David Wright, Robert Llewellyn, and his cousin Richard Lloyd Jones. The Unity Chapel, for the Lloyd Joneses; the Hillside Home School and Romeo and Juliet Windmill, for his aunts Neil and Jane Lloyd Jones; Tan-Y-Deri House, for his sister Jane Porter; and Midway Farm's various structures at Taliesin are also thoroughly described.
