A building by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is always unmistakably individual and at the same time evokes an entire era. Wright's designs are characterized above all by their exceptional harmony with its surroundings as well as by the The use of steel and glass, which makes the transition from indoor to outdoor space smooth . They announced the dawn of modernity and made their creator immortal.

This careful compilation of TASCHEN's previous Wright monograph presents in one concise volume the most important works from the the enormous groundbreaking oeuvre of the most famous American architect. The compilation, based on the unlimited access to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives at Taliesin West in Arizona , covers the entire spectrum of Wright's work and also includes projects that were never realized. The exhibition ranges from the early Prairie Houses , the "Usonian" concept houses and the extraordinary Fallingwater , through the Tokyo buildings and designs of administrative buildings and places of worship to later prominent projects such as the Guggenheim Museum in New York and the fantastic vision for a better future in the “living city” .
