Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright's groundbreaking projects. This comprehensive overview, based on TASCHEN's three-volume monograph and with unlimited access to the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives, spans the star architect's entire career and brings his work together in a single volume.

Ingenious buildings by America's greatest architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) are characterized by individual design, organic adaptation to their surroundings and the use of steel and glass to seamlessly connect interior and exterior spaces, marking the beginning of modernism.

TASCHEN presents the most important works from Wright's extensive oeuvre, including unrealized projects, in a compact volume based on access to the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives in Arizona. The selection ranges from early prairie houses to the "Usonian" houses, Fallingwater, Tokyo buildings, examples of "living architecture" and later projects such as the Guggenheim Museum in New York and visions for a better future in the "living city".

Author Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, a student of Wright, presents the latest research and his own insights into these architectural milestones. Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer (1930-2017) studied under Wright, founded the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives and wrote numerous publications on Wright's life and work.

The editor Peter Gössel has already published several architectural monographs for TASCHEN and runs an agency for museum and exhibition design.
