The definitive publication on America's greatest architect, Taschen's
three-volume monograph features all of Wright's designs, both realized and unrealized. Made in cooperation
with the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives in Taliesin, Arizona, author and preeminent Wright expert Bruce Brooks
Pfeiffer highlights the latest research and gives fresh insight into the architect's work. Volume 3 starts after World War II, when Wrights organic
living architecture introduced ideas for the use of solar energy and
curved open spaces. In addition to the Guggenheim museum, the postwar
era also saw extraordinary projects such as Wrights plans for a new
Baghdad, his only realized high-rise tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma,
the crystal figure of the Beth Sholom Synagogue in Elkins Park,
Pennsylvania, and an endless row of houses that reached new complexity
by floor plans based on hexagons.
