Always creative, Frank Lloyd Wright was renowned for the surprising and extraordinary ways in which he used glass in the buildings and furniture he designed. From the stylized art glass of his famous Prairie houses to the pierced-textile block of his California homes to his masterpiece, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, see how the architect incorporated glass with his usual creative flair and attention to the tiniest detail. 15 case studies focus on some of his finest buildings, and a tour of another 20 buildings highlights his spectacular work with glass. A wonderful tribute to one of America's greatest treasures, this volume is an intriguing exploration for anyone interested in seeing how the placement of windows and glass can dramatically affect the design of a building.
