Wrightscapes

The first in-depth look at the environmental designs of \'America\'s favourite architect\', Frank Lloyd Wright. It contains many never before published photographs and site plans. \'...a comprehensive and intriguing look at the work of Frank Lloyd Wright from the outside. It provides a view from the perspective of his designs in settings or landscapes ...the point of view is to see how the designs of the outside flow into, out of, around, and in a few classic cases, under the architecture of the building.\' - John Crowley, Dean, College of Environmental Design, University of Georgia. Shedding light on a fascinating yet previously unexamined topic, \'Wrightscapes\' analyzes 85 of Frank Lloyd Wright\'s designs paying particular attention to site planning, landscape design, community scale and regional planning. The authors include many original diagrams, rare archival material, and some 200 photographs and site plans, many never published before, detailing Wright\'s residential and public work and his urban design initiatives. A true collectors item \'Wrightscapes\' is a pleasure to read and a joy to own.
