Title: Frank Lloyd Wright 1941-1959. A Selection of Buildings and Projects (A record of a seminar held at the Southern California Institute of Architecture from January to April 1988)

Author: Edited by: Smith, Kathryn; Authors: Boscanin, Nikola; Steele, Scott; Tal, Orly; Lew, Edwin; Yang, Tien-Chu; Pattratara, Anan; Beltramo, Fernando; Skepner, Brad; Moore, Monique; Herrera, Anthony; Pan, Chia-Hsiang; Watari, Gayle; Beg, Conway; Gubel, Gustavo; Guzman, Eulogio

Description: "This book is a product of a seminar focusing n the projects and buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright designed between 1941 and 1959... to analyze for common motifs and themes, which the whole group tackled together; and fifteen specific subjects – the various building types Wright addressed in those prolific years, which we examined individually. The fifteen topics included Usonian Houses of modest or ore generous sizes and budgets, housing projects, hotels and apartments, resorts and motels, museums, megastructures, churches, commercial buildings, theatres and large scale complexes... As it turns out, we have concluded that the latter period beginning in 1938 is dominated by Wright’s interest in circular geometry which appears in more than two-thirds of the buildings studied..." A study of fifteen structures including an essay for each, and 56 illustrations. Spiral bound. (First Edition) Gift from Kathryn Smith.
