Résumé

THIS REMARKABLE BOOK presents twenty-five of the most significant buildings of America's foremost architect, from his early Prairie work in Oak Park, Illinois, in the 1890s to his daring creations of the 1940s and 1950s. Renowned architectural photographers Michael Freeman and Paul Rocheleau gained unprecedented access to some of Wright's masterworks in order to take photographs which are published here for the first time.

Illustrations and text combine to examine in detail a selection of Wright's architecture that covers a phenomenal range of his work, including such internationally famous buildings as the Home and Studio in Oak Park, Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona, Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, as well as several lesser-known residences such as the Auldbrass Plantation in South Carolina and the Kenneth Laurent house in Rockford, Illinois.

The works featured here are succinctly documented by Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, one of Wright's former apprentices, who describes the development and execution of each commission. Also included is a selection of Wright's extensive writings, unpublished talks and private letters.

Published in association with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Frank Lloyd Wright: Master Builder demonstrates how one man completely changed the course of American architecture.

With over 200 colour illustrations

On the cover: The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York
