Description
Among the many books available on Frank Lloyd Wright, William Allin Storrer's classic "The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright: A Complete Catalog" is the authoritative guide to all of Wright's built work. This updated third edition revisits each of Wright's structures, tracing the architect's development from his Prairie works, such as the Frederick Robie house in Chicago, to the last building constructed to his specifications, the magnificent Aime and Norman Lykes residence in California. Renowned expert William Storrer deftly incorporates a series of key revisions and brings each structure's history up to the present day, as some buildings have been refurbished, some moved, and others sadly abandoned or destroyed by natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina - including the James Charnley bungalow in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Organized chronologically, this updated third edition features full-color photographs of all extant work along with a description of each building and its history.
Storrer also provides full addresses, GPS coordinates, and maps of locations throughout the United States, England, and Japan, indicating the shortest route to each building - perfect for Wright aficionados on the go. From Fallingwater to the Guggenheim, Frank Lloyd Wright is the undisputed master of American architecture. Now fully updated, "The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright: A Complete Catalog" will be indispensable for anyone fascinated with the architect's unique genius.
