Features: Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1969) revolutionized American architecture with his unique use of space, light, and materials. As one of the early modernists of the 20th century, Wright created buildings that continue to awe an ever-growing group of architects and non-architects. This guidebook, the earliest published by the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, includes all currently open Wright buildings. Although most of Wright's works are located in the Midwest of the United States, his admirers will be pleased to find that his buildings span the country from New Hampshire to Florida, from Texas to Oregon. In addition to maps and suggested visitation plans for 66 locations, the book provides detailed descriptions and visitation information for each site. It also includes a brief list of Wright buildings located in Asia and the UK. In this third edition of Wright's Architecture and Guide, five recently opened buildings have been added. Written by Mr. Arlin Sanderson, an advisor to the conservancy, who holds master's degrees in art history and journalism and was specially introduced by Professor Jack Quinan of the State University of New York at Buffalo. This book will guide visitors through the most important works of Wright's modern architecture.
