New York Dover Publications 1986 Softcover, 87pp., richly illustr. in b/w., in fair to good condition (covers with some use and a bit bumped on the corners, inside good). ISBN 9780486250984. This illustrated study examines the influence of nature, particularly the American prairie landscape, on the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959). Architectural historian Donald Hoffmann explores how Wright integrated buildings into their natural surroundings through his choice of materials, spatial organisation and relationship to the landscape. The book discusses major works including Fallingwater, the Robie House and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, showing how Wright developed an architectural language inspired by organic forms and the environment. It offers an accessible introduction to the principles and characteristic features of Wright's architecture. (AI-generated content description)
