There he found radically different climates, abundant but unfamiliar building materials - even a different quality of light, which he sought to incorporate into his progressive designs. Surveying twenty-three projects in all the western states outside California, Frank Lloyd Wright: The Western Work shows the profound leaps Wright made in his designs during the second half of his remarkable career. / Dixie Legler is a curator, author, and editor of the Frank Lloyd Wright Quarterly. She lives in Washington State." - Publisher. Size: 4to. Collectible.

Hardbound. Condición: Good. Description: 303 drawings are printed on glossy plates, printed double sided, with a brief caption next to each drawing; further notes on the plates are found at the rear. The publisher's blurb declares this book ''faithfully reproduces all details of his drawings as well as of the various kinds of paper on which they were dawn. To retain the quality of the often fragile originals, the greatest care has been taken to reproduce all the marks of the architect's work: his handwritten notes, erasures and corrections as well as the patches and tears that resulted from the constant handling of these original drawings in his daily work. These drawings include his designs for many houses, small and large, apartment and industrial buildings, skyscrapers, churches and hotels, museums and resorts, theaters and floating cabins, bridges and motels, community centers and observatories, a sports pavilion, a self-service garage, a summer colony, a boat club, an amusement park. His drawings for the ideal city are also included, together with his unique design for the ideal motor car and helicopter.''
