Frank Lloyd Wright: Complete Works

Another big and expensive must have archi book to add to the wishlist.

"Part of an exhaustive three-volume monograph featuring all of
Wright’s 1,100 designs, both realized and unrealized. This volume covers the postwar years and the “living architecture” period.

Together with two forthcoming companion titles, this three-volume monograph will cover Wright’s entire oeuvre, from his early Prairie Houses, through the Usonian concept home and “living architecture” buildings, to late projects like the Guggenheim Museum and his fantastic vision of the “living city.” Author Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, who served as Wright’s apprentice during the 1950s, highlights the latest research and gives fresh insights into the work, providing new dates for many of the plans and houses. A wealth of personal photos also illustrates the working routine at Frank Lloyd Wright’s fellowship."
