Design Monograph: Wright

A design monograph series on the most remarkable architects, designers, brands, and design movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, each book contains a historical-critical essay discussing the life and work of the subject, followed by an illustrated appreciation of groundbreaking work.

The most widely recognised of US architects, Wright designed over 1000 buildings in 70 years. He transformed American architecture and suburban homes with his 'Prairie' style, closely tying his structures into their settings and landscapes in residential designs, most notably in Fallingwater. In Design Monograph: Wright, you will see both his organic work and his precast concrete forms, as seen in the spiral shape of the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
