Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright

In this compelling and thought-provoking book, the distinguished architectural historian Neil Levine redefines our understanding of Frank Lloyd Wright in the first comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the architect's entire career since the opening of the Wright Archives. Making use of the architect's drawings, notes, writings, and personal and professional correspondence, the author weaves together historical and biographical material in a carefully documented, chronologically ordered framework that gives new meaning and relevance to Wright's enormously varied production.'Scrupulously researched, elegantly written . beautifully illustrated and designed . the book is a feast for eye and mind, challenging assumptions and deepening understanding on almost every page. Wright's ability to translate the poetic essence of a place into form was unrivaled, and no one has explored it with more insight than Levine.'--Richard Weston, the architects' journal'Wright's personal history was extraordinary by any standards, and it is the great strength of Neil Levine's book that he manages to correlate the developments in Wright's architecture with the events in his life, without being sentimental or over-reverent.'--Andrew Ballantyne, The Times Literary Supplement 'There is no other book that brings one closer to a sense of full understanding of Wright's architecture.'--Robin Middleton, Columbia University wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.
