Sketches, plans, and photographs chronicle all of Wright’s major works, celebrating his organic architecture philosophy, innovative use of industrial materials, and vision for a new way of American living.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcclaimed as the “father of skyscrapers,” the quintessentially American icon\u003cstrong\u003e Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959)\u003c\/strong\u003e was an architect of aspiration. He believed in giving cultivated American life its fitting architectural equivalent and applied his idealism to structures across the continent, from suburban homes to churches, offices, skyscrapers, and the celebrated \u003cstrong\u003eGuggenheim Museum\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wright’s work is distinguished by its harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called \u003cstrong\u003eorganic architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e, and which found its paradigm at \u003cstrong\u003eFallingwater\u003c\/strong\u003e, a house in rural Pennsylvania, cited by the American Institute of Architects as “the best all-time work of American architecture.” Wright also made a particular mark with his use of industrial materials, and by the simple L or T plan of his \u003cstrong\u003ePrairie House which became a model for rural architecture across America\u003c\/strong\u003e. Wright was also often involved in many of the interior elements of his buildings, such as the furniture and stained glass, paying particular attention to the balance between individual needs and community activity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Exploring Wright’s aspirations to augment American society through architecture, this book offers a concise introduction to his at once technological and Romantic response to the practical challenges of middle-class Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40945864736865,"sku":"9783836560498","price":16.42,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_34506707_340956d2-8990-4026-8b4e-d196cdfdea4d.jpg?v=1747947765","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9783836560498-fl-wright","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
