Synopsis

Despite his grand achievements, Frank Lloyd Wright understood the needs of the typical American family. For them he designed the “Usonian Home” and proved that affordability and superb architecture could go hand in hand. With simple supplies and characteristic creativity, Wright devised elegant homes that belied their modest price tag. Take a fascinating tour of the best of these— including the inaugural Jacobs House (1936), which was besieged by visitors, all marveling at its ingenuity. Each was built on the same principles, but differed subtly, depending on the occupants’ lifestyles and local materials.
