Frank Lloyd Wright: 50 Favourite Rooms Book

Any admirer of the creative talent of Frank Lloyd Wright should not be without this excellent book, which records some of his domestic interiors with words and pictures. Diane Maddex, who has written several books on Frank Lloyd Wright, has assembled a photographic collection of Wright's living and dining rooms as well as playrooms, libraries and a few public spaces, including Wisconsin's Johnson Wax building and the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Wright's style--a combination of arts and crafts and the "prairie school"--was achieved by designing human-scale spaces with beautifully crafted materials. Maddex has chosen 50 of the finest rooms which exemplify this style. They span Wright's entire career, from the Robie House in 1906 to the Guggenheim, which was only completed 1959 after he had died, and show the way in which his style evolved over time. The photographs are sensational. They capture the light, scale and colour of each interior. Accompanying each photograph is a brief description of the client, their requirements and what Wright created for them. This is a beautiful book which serves as a beautiful historical record of one of the 20th century's greatest architects.Read More
