Summary

"Frank Lloyd Wright: The Buildings, a companion volume to Rizzoli's Frank Lloyd Wright: The Houses, features the great non-residential masterpieces of architecture by this American genius. Wright's major projects are here showcased, including such seminal works as the Guggenheim Museum in New York, Price Tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael, California, Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois, Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida, and Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona. In Frank Lloyd Wright: The Buildings, extensive, all-new photography shows the buildings to an extent rarely seen (including such little-known gems as Beth Sholom Synagogue, Kalita Humphreys Theater, R. W. Lindholm Service Station, and many others) while rich text by author Alan Hess coupled with insightful essays by Wright scholars David G. De Long and Kathryn Smith uncover the great innovative richness of the master architect's non-residential work, ultimately inviting a reevaluation of the architectural legacy of this almost mythical figure."--BOOK JACKET.
