Book Reviews of Frank Lloyd Wright the Buildings
Book Review: Wright Buildings
Summary: 5 Stars
This book completes the cycle which began earlier with Wright: the Houses.
This book looks into the many office buildings, churches, museums, schools, and even doctors' offices where Wright used his vision to make the day more in tune with the natural.
Perhaps more interesting than the big projects, was how Wright applied his vision to small projects, like a medical building in Dayton, Ohio.
No project, it seems, was too small to do the Wright way.
Also covered was Wright's own space at Taliesin in both Wisconsin and Arizonia. It was interesting to see the quarters Wright created for his own family within these compounds.
This book shows the range of Wrights work, and is a perfect companion book to "Houses".
Summary of Frank Lloyd Wright the Buildings
Accompanying Rizzoli?s best-selling Frank Lloyd Wright: The Houses, this exceptional publication features Wright?s major projects and programs, including such masterpieces as the Guggenheim Museum, Marin County Civic Center, Unity Temple, Johnson Wax, Taliesin, and Taliesin West, to name only a few. Also included is stunning archival imagery of the great demolished buildings, such as the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, as well as inspiring visions of the great unbuilt work drawn by Wright, including The Baghdad Opera House and The Mile High "Illinois," among others. Extensive, all new color photography shows the buildings to an extent rarely seen (including such little-known gems as Beth Shalom Synagogue, Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, and Lindholm Gas Station). Frank Lloyd Wright: The Buildings invites a reevaluation of Wright?s work and is a must-have for anyone interested in this very important American architect.Schools, Periods & Styles Books
