This reprint of Mr. Wright's German book contains many large photos
(B/W) of buildings and designs from his early period. A bargain for
the price, as Dover books usually are: well-constructed and much
lower priced than similar sized paperbacks from other publishers.
This book
illustrates the early Prairie period, with not only Mr. Wright's work,
but also the work of his contemporaries, immitators, and followers.
"An in-depth look at this period, exploring such topics as Broadacre
City, Wright's visits to the Soviet Union, and designs not often
discussed elsewhere."
"This book lists and describes, at least briefly, almost all of the
extant Wright buildings."
"This gorgeous volume details the Wright buildings that have been
demolished, some of which were among his very best work."
This is a large "coffee-table" style book at a bargain price, with many
large color photos.
"Parallel stories of three men who helped
shape the era between 1920 and 1950-Wright, Henry Ford, and Franklin
D. Roosevelt-interwoven with details of historic events that demonstrate
how Wright's ideas have influenced modern America"
"Multifaceted portrait of the architect, captured in
reminisces from architects Philip Johnson and Walter Gropius, sculptor
Egon Weiner, Wright apprentices, and family members."
"Thirty-two of his most important speeches offer his thoughts on Beaux-
Arts architecture, the Columbian World Exposition of 1893, prefabricated
housing, hospital design, and the use of the machine in design. Well-
illustrated"
Describes the Usonian houses in the context of FLW's other designs,
his "Broadacre City" project, and FLW's political views.
This book also gets down to specific construction detail and house
plans for many of the Usonian houses.
.
"Contains detail I have not found in other books. The socio/economic/political sections are
fascinating. Extensive footnotes"
