Features: Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1969) revolutionized American architecture with his unique use of space, light, and materials. As one of the early 20th-century modernists, Wright created buildings that continue to the 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 to the public. Although most of Wright's works are located in the Midwest of the United States, his admirers will be delighted to find that his works span from New Hampshire to Florida, from Texas to Oregon across the country. In addition to the location maps and suggested visitation plans for 66 sites, the book provides detailed descriptions and visitation information for each site. The book also includes a brief list of sites located in Asia and the United Kingdom. In this third edition of Wright's Architecture and Guide, five recently opened buildings have been added. This book was written by Mr. Aline Sanderson, an advisor to the conservancy, who holds master's degrees in art history and journalism and was specifically introduced to 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.
