DESCRIPTION:
A great guide. Mark A very useful guide to Wright buildings. Good photography and descriptions if you're looking for a quick reference, especially to find those which are open to the public.. Wonderful catalog of Wright's work If you're a FLW enthusiast like me, this is a great guide and complete history of his work. If you're looking for lots of details, this isn't the book you want. But if you want a complete catalog of his work, this is excellent!
Together with more photos, updated and expanded entries, and a new essay on the evolution of Wright’s unparalleled architectural style, this new edition is the most comprehensive and authoritative catalog available. Publishing for Wright’s sesquicentennial, this new edition will be a trusted companion for anyone embarking on their own journeys through the wonder and genius of Frank Lloyd Wright.. Organized chronologically, the catalog includes full-color photos, location information, and historical and architectural background for all of Wright’s extant structures in the United States and abroad, as well as entries for works that have been demolished over the years. A geographic listing makes it easy for traveling Wright fans to find nearby structures and a new key indicates whether a site is open to the public. While the renowned architect passed away more than fifty years ago, researchers and enthusiasts are still uncovering structures that should be attributed to him. From sprawling houses to compact bungalows and from world-famous museums to a still-working gas station
“Storrer is to Wright what Ludwig von Kochel was to Mozart—his definitive, exhaustive cataloger.”
