Frank Lloyd Wright pioneered a bold new kind of architecture, one in which the spirit of modern man truly "lived in his buildings." is a one-volume compendium of Wright's most critically important--and personally revealing--writings on every conceivable aspect of his craft.

Bruce Pfeiffer includes each piece in its entirety to present the architect's writings as he originally intended them. Beginning early in Wright's career with "The Art and Craft of the Machine" in 1901, the book follows major themes through , and many other writings, and ends with A in 1957, published two years before his death. This volume is beautifully illustrated with original drawings and photographs, and is complemented by Pfeiffer's general introduction, which provides history and context. is a must-have resource for architects and scholars and a delight for general readers.
