    Frank Lloyd Wright\u27s House Beautiful

    No full text
    This book features the special relationship Wright had with House Beautiful magazine, a relationship that spanned six decades. In 1897, the year the magazine began, Wright developed his own concept of The House Beautiful, in a limited edition masterpiece that detailed his theories of the ideal home. More than a century later, this book presents his concepts, alongside stunning photographs depicting the evolution of Wright\u27s organic architecture style, including the Prairie style of the early 1900s, the California textile-block houses of the 1920s, his one-of-a-kind expressive designs (such as Fallingwater), and the simple Usonian houses of the 1940s and 1950s--all of which exemplified the Wrightian principles of unity, simplicity, and respect for nature. Also included are suggestions for bringing his ideas into every home, and a catalog of reproductions of Wright items available for purchase. Frank Lloyd Wright\u27s House Beautiful is not only a treasure for any Wright fan, but a fascinating history of the architect as seen through the magazine that recognized his trailblazing talents from the beginning.https://nsuworks.nova.edu/nsudigital_flwbooks/1081/thumbnail.jp

    50 Favorite Houses by Frank Lloyd Wright

    No full text
    Of the 300 Frank Lloyd Wright houses that were built, award-winning author Diane Maddex has selected 50 that have become worldwide favorites. With insightful text and splendid photographs, Maddex shows how these houses—which include Wright\u27s Oak Park home, the Coonley, Dana and Robie houses from the Prairie period, Fallingwater and Taliesin West—each grew from Wright\u27s fundamental belief that a house should be built in harmony with nature, use natural materials and colors, be designed from within, have the consistency of a finely woven fabric, achieve harmony through unity and be not merely a domicile but a work of art.https://nsuworks.nova.edu/nsudigital_flwbooks/1022/thumbnail.jp

    Wright-Sized Houses: Frank Lloyd Wright\u27s Solutions for Making Small Houses Feel Big

    No full text
    Book Jacket Excerpt: Wright-Sized Houses: Frank Lloyd Wright\u27s Solutions for Making Small Houses Feel Big is the first book to feature the small houses of this world-renowned architect. It presents a wealth of ideas for how to build or redesign a home to make it feel far more spacious and restful than a larger house. Diane Maddex outlines dozens of Wright\u27s principles for making less seem like more: roofs that epitomize the sense of shelter, windows that capture the outdoors, materials that respect nature, open plans that create a relaxed lifestyle, built-ins that conserve space, ornament that grows naturally from the design. Profiles of ten small houses show how all of Wright\u27s techniques combine to make even 1,200 square feet feel like a mansion. For guidance on making a small house more rewarding, Wright-Sized Houses offers a refreshing new window into why even in the twenty-first century Wright remains the household word for architect.https://nsuworks.nova.edu/nsudigital_flwbooks/1220/thumbnail.jp
