Art, Vision, and Symmetry. The
Hidden Geometry of Frank Lloyd
Wright (Soft Cover) (Published by
Mission Point Press, Traverse City,
Michigan) |
Shoaff, John H. |
Publishers description: When Frank
Lloyd Wright wrote that certain
"principles behind the effects" gave
his buildings "such vitality,
integrity, and magic as they have,"
he confronted us with a dual
challenge: first, to uncover these
principles, and, second, to explain
how they yielded the remarkable
qualities of "vitality and magic"--
always suffused with a clarity,
immediacy, and harmony that imbue

Wright (Hard Cover) (Published by
Rizzoli International Publications,
Inc., New York) |
Brtsky, Aaron; Shapiro, Gideon Fink |
Publisher’s Description: "This book
begins with a simple question. What
lessons can designers today learn
from Frank Lloyd Wright? Unlike
recent books focusing on Wright’s
tumultuous personal life and the
Taliesin Fellowship, and equally
unlike certain works that paint
Wright as a mythical hero or genius,
this handsome and valuable volume
aims to reveal some of the design
tools Wright used to create
exceptional architecture, interiors,
and landscapes—and how we may glean
insight from an American master...

Insufficient Funds. The Financial
Life of Frank Lloyd Wright (Hard
Cover DJ) (Published by Dorrance
Publishing Co., Pittsburgh, PA) |
Alexander, Peter C. |
Dust Jacket: "Dozens
of books have been written about
architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s
architecture, aesthetic, and various
design achievements; however, no one
has looked at his business
practices… until now. In this book,
Peter Alexander focuses on the
financial life of this American
architectural genius after more than
fifteen years of research. Wright
was a spendthrift who earned a
considerable fortune over his
lifetime, but he was a man who never
had sufficient funds to meet his
expenses. Most often, his lack...

Loper, Jason; Schreiber, Michael |
Frank Lloyd Wright’s
Meier
House And The
American
System-Built Homes.
Back cover: Long before designing
his signature Usonian houses, Frank
Lloyd Wright envisioned an earlier
series of affordable models for the
middle class: The American
System-Built Homes. He developed
seven floor plans of varying size
and layout, standardized so that
materials could be precut at the
factory to reduce costs. Only a few
years after the project began, the
United States entered World War I,
and all home...
