Frank Lloyd Wright cover

A comprehensive monograph on Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the great masters of modern architecture

This comprehensive monograph on the renowned twentieth-century architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, explores both his major architectural designs and many of his minor projects in detail. Robert McCarter analyses Wright’s work chronologically, exploring each building’s spatial experience, material and tectonic character, and relationship to the landscape.

Now in a fully revised and updated new edition, this definitive account of the life and work of the modern master features an extensive selection of archival drawings, specially commissioned photographs, redrawn plans, and detailed drawings, as well as a complete list of Wright’s buildings and projects compiled by the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives.

Praise for the first edition:

'Robert McCarter's volume is a masterly achievement.' – Times Literary Supplement

'As a presentation of Wright's complete career, it is difficult to imagine McCarter's book being bettered.' – Architects Journal

'A sumptuous and revealing book... An intensely human and at times poetically interpreted description of Wright's work and life.' – World Architecture
