Frank Lloyd Wright's groundbreaking projects. This comprehensive overview, based on the three-volume TASCHEN monograph and with unlimited access to the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives, spans the entire creative period of the star architect and brings every owner of this copy all the strokes of genius of his career into his home at a special price.

Ingenious buildings by the greatest American architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) are characterized by individual design, organic adaptation to the environment and the use of steel and glass to seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces, which marked the beginning of modernism.

TASCHEN presents in a compact volume the most important works from Wright's extensive oeuvre, including unrealized projects, based on access to the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives in Arizona. The selection ranges from early prairie houses to the "Usonian" concept house in Fallingwater, Tokyo buildings, examples of "living architecture" to later projects such as the Guggenheim Museum in New York and visions for a better future in the "living city".

Author Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, a student of Wright, presents the latest research and his own insights into these architectural milestones. Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer (1930–2017) learned under Wright, founded the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives and wrote numerous publications about Wright's life and work.

The editor Peter Gössel has already published several architectural monographs for TASCHEN and runs an agency for museum and exhibition design.
