In entirely new photographs taken especially for this book by two leading architectural photographers under the direction of co-editor David Larkin, such internationally famous buildings as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Fallingwater and Wright's homes Taliesin, Taliesin West, and the Oak Park Home and Studio are seen afresh, benefiting from the photographers' special access. Several lesser-known residences, such as Auldbrass Plantation in South Carolina, an array of wooden buildings that is Wright's American alternative to antebellum architecture, the William H. Winslow house in River Forest, Illinois, one of the architect's earliest and most surprisingly decorative houses, and the Kenneth Laurent house in Rockford, Illinois, a masterful curvilinear design, are seen in full color and demonstrate dimensions of Wright's work less often seen before. Public buildings, such as the dramatic concrete, glass, and steel Marin County Civic Center and Beth Sholom Synagogue show Wright as engineering virtuoso as well as creative architect. In addition to these existing masterworks, only the most famous of which are open to the public, the book covers buildings that have been demolished, notably the Larkin Company Administration Building, Midway Gardens, and the Imperial Hotel, which are represented here by drawings and rich archival photographs. Each of the buildings is presented from conceptual sketch, plan, or drawing to finished masterwork, and each is accompanied by an in-depth essay detailing the development of the work. Extensive quotes from Wright's writings, unpublished talks, and private letters to the clients give valuable insight into the architect's own thinking about each commission. Never before has Wright's architecture been presented so elaborately in one volume. / Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer was an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright and is currently a trustee and Director of the Archives for the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona. He is the author of Frank Lloyd Wright Drawings and Treasures of Taliesin and editor of the highly praised series The Collected Writings of Frank Lloyd Wright. David Larkin is the co-author and designer of such celebrated illustrated books as Classic America and Shaker and publisher of Barn and Wooden Ship. Paul Rocheleau and Michael Freeman have contributed the new photography included in this book." - Publisher. Size: 4to.…

Trade paperback. Condición: Very good. The format is approximately 6.6 x 8.2 inches. 240 pages. Illustrations (many in color). Notes. Covers have flaps. Some pages slightly bent at the bottom edge. This book presents twenty-five of the most renowned and significant buildings of America's premier architect, from his early Prairie work in Oak Park, Illinois, in the 1890s to his daring creations of the 1940s and 1950s. Published in association with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, this superbly illustrated volume features previously unpublished photographs for which renowned architectural photographers Michael Freeman and Paul Rocheleau gained unprecedented access to some of Wright's masterworks. The book examines in unsurpassed detail a selection of Wright's architecture that covers the phenomenal range of his work, including such internationally famous buildings as the Home and Studio in Oak Park, Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona, Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, as well as several lesser-known residences such as the Auldbrass Plantation in South Carolina and the Kenneth Laurent house in Rockford, Illinois. The works featured here are succinctly documented by one of Wright's former apprentices, with text that details the development and execution of each commission. Also included throughout is a selection of Wright's extensive writings, unpublished talks, and private letters. Pfeiffer wrote or edited more than 50 books in order to guarantee that the story of Wright's life would be remembered with nuance and detail. Each of those works drew from the massive collection of Wright's own drawings and papers that Pfeiffer organized and preserved at Taliesin West for decades. Pfeiffer was so drawn to Wright that by the time Pfeiffer was just 18, he'd already migrated to Taliesin West to join the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, as it was called then. Pfeiffer studied with Wright for the next seven years, working alongside the other, mostly older apprentices. Pfeiffer felt that Wright's impromptu lessons and more formal morning talks were "too valuable to perish," so he decided to record them. Pfeiffer eventually collected more than 250 hours of Frank Lloyd Wright's teachings on tape and would transcribe them all. Pfeiffer settled in Scottsdale for good, playing an integral role in the life of the Taliesin Fellowship, where design work, study, sleep, and property repairs, as well as communal meals and entertainment, were all woven together. Mr. and Mrs. Wright were both deeply appreciative of music. Pfeiffer shared this affinity for music, and played piano. Transcribing and arranging original compositions would become a big part of his enduring friendship with Olgivanna. When Frank Lloyd Wright died in 1959, many of the architect's original drawings were still in daily circulation among the apprentices at Taliesin. The students would pull the originals out of drawers in the drafting studio for reference, then stick them back haphazardly when they were done. But Olgivanna had an eye to preserving her husband's legacy and quickly discontinued such practices. She worked with the apprentices to gather her husband's myriad letters, papers, and project materials-hundreds of thousands of items from Taliesin East, in Spring Green, Wisconsin, and West-then pack them up in boxes, and moved them to a Bekins-brand storage facility in Phoenix for safekeeping. For years, the trove of material sat in that warehouse. Pfeiffer said he'd never intended to become an archivist, but in the years after Wright's death, he recognized the immense need at hand. Scholars around the world were becoming increasingly curious about the materials Wright left behind and hungry to work on various, often ambitious, publishing projects. Apprentices were anxious, as were new owners of Wright homes, to discover anything they could about specific buildings. Inquiries began to pour in. When Pfeiffer spoke with Olgivanna about the imperative.…
