Description

This study of the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, beginning with his work in Oak Park in the late 1880s and culminating in the construction of the Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Marin County Civic Centre in the 1950s, is an analysis of the architect's entire career since the opening of the Wright Archives over a decade ago. Wright built more than 400 buildings and designed at least twice as many more. The characteristic features of his work - the open plan, dynamic space, fragmented volumes, natural materials, and integral structure-established the basic way that we think about modern architecture. For a general audience, this book provides an introduction to Wright's remarkable accomplishments, as seen against the background of his eventful and often tragic life. For the architect or the architectural historian, it should be a source of new insights into the development of Wright's whole body of work. It integrates biographical and historical material in a chronologically ordered framework that makes sense of his enormously varied career, and it provides over four hundred illustrations running parallel to the text. Levine conveys the meanings of the continuities and changes that he sees in Wright's architecture and thought by focusing successive chapters on his most significant buildings, such as the Winslow House, Taliesin, Hollyhock House, Fallingwater, Taliesin West, and the Guggenheim Museum. A new understanding of the representational imagery and narrative structure of Wright's work, along with a reconsideration of its historical and contextual underpinnings, gives this study a place in the writings on Wright. In contrast to the emphasis a previous generation of critics and historians placed on Wright's earlier buildings, this book offers a broader perspective that sees Wright's later work as the culmination of his earlier efforts and the basis for a new understanding of the centrality of his career to the evolution of modem architecture as a whole.
