The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, Fourth Edition
From sprawling houses to compact bungalows and from world-famous museums to a still-working gas station, Frank Lloyd Wright’s designs can be found in nearly every corner of the country. While the renowned architect passed away more than fifty years ago, researchers and enthusiasts are still uncovering structures that should be attributed to him. William Allin Storrer is one of the experts leading this charge, and his definitive guide, The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, has long been the resource of choice for anyone interested in Wright. Thanks to the work of Storrer and his colleagues at the Rediscovering Wright Project, thirty-seven new sites have recently been identified as the wor...
Frank Lloyd Wright; Designing Democratic America
Though having achieved considerable fame, by 1909 [Frank Lloyd] Wright recognized the failure of Prairie architecture. He went to Europe and produced the Wasmuth Portfolio, his celebration of and epitaph to the Prairie School. Frank Lloyd Wright; Designing Democratic American Architecture is about the ascension from Prairie to Usonian, Wright's Democratic American architecture, and its fulfillment of Wright's dream. It draws heavily upon the reference standard The Frank Lloyd Wright Companion but, in arranging the materials around design themes, makes what in the Companion is often technical, here open to the neophyte. Yet, in its approach to Wright's source of creativity, it offers new insights to the best-read Wrightian.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Born in Bear Valley, Wisconsin, raised in nearby Richland Center, then Massachusetts before settling in south central Wisconsin, Frank Lloyd Wright always knew that he would be an architect. He wanted to create a Democratic American Architecture. With his Prairie homes, he achieved the first part of his goal, American Architecture. It was based upon geometry, the cruciform/pinwheel and square. With his Usonian houses, he created the next part, Democratic, thus achieving Democratic American Architecture. This was achieved by reducing the Prairie cruciform to a simple L.It is not easy for most to visualize in three dimensions, especially when one must do so from a two-dimensional plan. Yet Wri...

The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright
Neil Levine's study of the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, beginning with his work in Oak Park in the late 1880s and culminating in the construction of the Guggenheim museum in New York and the Marin County Civic Center in the 1950s, if the first comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the architect's entire career since the opening of the Wright Archives over a decade ago. The most celebrated and prolific of modern architects, Wright built more than four hundred buildings and designed at least twice as many more. The characteristic features of his work--the open plan, dynamic space, fragmented volumes, natural materials, and integral structure--established the basic way that we think abo...
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
William Allin Storrer, Ph.D., after earning an A.B. in Engineering Sciences at Harvard College where he had been publicity director for the college Gilbert & Sullivan Society and the producer for the Harvard Opera Guild, decamped to Boston University. While earning his M.F.A. in Theatre Arts, Directing, he produced plays for Olawami Ritimi of Nigeria and Göksel Kortay, now a leading personage in Turkish theatre. He also directed a play in French, and his graduate thesis was a rarely allowed original play by Harvard classmate, John Wolfson, Poison Ivy, a look at drugs on Ivy campuses. His Ph.D. dissertation compared Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? as drama and film, opening his world to the differences in the two media. Here he shares his insights into Albee's world. Having directed the play, his unique insights that go well beyond what New York and later London critics have offered about the play, he reveals a view that is comprehensive and finally explains both the title and the location of the play as significant elements in understanding Albee's first full-length masterpiece.
The Anonymous Frank Lloyd Wright and the 700 William Street, River Forest Project
The ultimate question remains, "If Wright didn't do it, who did?"We know Harry Robinson didn't design the 700-block William Street houses, or he would have claimed, and had to claim, the project on his application for a government job late in his career. Yet, among his plans that were destroyed, after his death, was #10, "Henry Hogan & Son" with "esq FlW" written on it.While claims might be put forward for William Drummond, Barry Byrne, John van Bergen and others, none so rigorously used the grid as did Wright. Further, in the interiors, transitions from the living room to either dining room or porch, often are as Frank Lloyd Wright would do them, and equally as often as Lloyd Wright, who wa...
