Synopsis:
This is the first in-depth study of five of the projects by Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1920s which proposed an unprecedented integration of building and landscape, and were crucial to the development of Wright's later designs. This beautiful volume, published in conjunction with an exhibition which opened at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal in June 1996, reproduces Wright's drawings for Doheny Ranch, Lake Tahoe summer colony, and the A.M. Johnson desert compound, all in California; the Gordon Strong automobile objective in Maryland; and San Marcos in the desert, a complex of hotel and houses in Arizona. This volume also includes extensively illustrated essays based on the latest research as well as a detailed chronology of Wright's life and work from 1922 to 1932.
