Throughout the world, Frank Lloyd Wright's name
epitomizes architectural innovation and a ceaseless exploration of new frontiers in design. Above all, his work stands out because he insisted that how a building looks inside should dictate how it looks outdoors—and not the other way around. Through magnificent, oversized pictures, this volume opens the doors into one hundred of the architect's most revered houses, offices, public edifices, and churches. Over 200 color photographs, both indoors and out, show how Wright's famous glass windows looked to residents and passersby; how the materials used on the exterior affected the interior; how space could soar in a building that seemed to hug the ground; and how nature was integrated into all his designs. Succinct profiles reveal the stories behind such landmarks as Wright's own home in Oak Park; Winslow House (his first commission); the prairie-style Dana House; the famous and exquisite Fallingwater; and many more.
