Więcej o książce

If you've ever dreamed of living in a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, this book offers an extraordinary look inside dozens of his incomparable homes, filled with inspiring ideas from America's favorite architect. It captures the essence of Wright's timeless designs, showcasing the spaces, textures, colors, light, furniture, and unique features that embody his style. Each of Wright's buildings is presented as a complex composition, akin to a symphony, where he designed not just the structure but everything within it, including furniture, skylights, art glass windows, light fixtures, textiles, and even landscaping. The book illustrates how Wright influenced and inspired other homes, featuring interpretations of his principles by followers and apprentices, providing a guided exploration of his lasting impact on design. For those who admire Wright but cannot live in authentic spaces or acquire antique furnishings, a catalog of products allows readers to bring a touch of his style into their own homes. As author Carla Lind notes, Wright's ideas have permeated architectural practices, leading to open floor plans, light-filled spaces, and a synthesis of elements that reflect the character of the nation.
