Description from the seller
Wright per Wright
I progetti realizzati da Frank Lloyd Wright per la sua famiglia
The book (written by Hugh Howard with photographs by Roger Straus III, published in Italy by Rizzoli) explores Frank Lloyd Wright's most intimate architecture. Designing for oneself or for one's children allowed the master of organic architecture to experiment freely, transforming his own houses into true avant-garde laboratories.
The principal projects conceived and realized by Wright for his family nucleus are divided into three personal masterpieces and the iconic homes destined for his children:
Oak Park Home and Studio (Illinois)
Built starting in 1889 thanks to a loan from his mentor Louis Sullivan, the Oak Park house in Chicago was Wright's first true family residence. Initially modest, the structure was expanded and reshaped continually to accommodate his six children. It is here that the famous Prairie Style took shape, and where Wright added his professional studio and a spectacular playroom for the children.
Taliesin (Wisconsin)
In 1911, in his homeland at Spring Green, Wright built his new private estate, naming it with the Welsh term "Taliesin" (shining brow) in honor of his mother's origins. This structure represents the ultimate fusion between architecture and landscape, resting on the hillside without ever overpowering it. Repeatedly destroyed by tragic fires and always rebuilt, it became the home of his student community, the Taliesin Fellowship.
Taliesin West (Arizona)
Built starting in 1937 in Scottsdale, in the midst of the Sonoran Desert, it began as the architect's winter residence and desert camp for his wife Olgivanna and his school. Realized in a nearly primitive and integrated way using local rocks, concrete and wooden frames, Taliesin West is today part of the UNESCO World Heritage property.
Wright also signed unique projects for his now-adult children. Among the most famous are:
David and Gladys Wright House (Phoenix, Arizona): Completed in 1952 for his son David, this incredible house features a spiral plan raised on stilts, regarded as a formal precursor to the famous Guggenheim Museum in New York.
Robert Llewellyn Wright House (Bethesda, Maryland): A house conceived for his younger son Robert, based on the Usonian system with a hemispherical geometric plan, designed to blend with the surrounding forest.
Conditions
The volume is presented in overall excellent condition. Dust jacket with slight signs of wear. Binding solid. Interior pages clean with no underlining or creases. An excellent collectible copy.
