About this Item

WRIGHT, Frank Lloyd [90] pp. William Farquhar Payson 1932 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" "The principles set forth in The Disappearing City--Wright's advocacy of creating cities built to human scale, of planning the open spaces, making possible both community places and truly private places, of decentralizing the structure of our civilization--found their most thoughtful expression in his Broadacre City, an idea that grew from the 1932 book into a highly influential theory of city planning--and a radical critique, not only of the unhealthy, unwieldy American city but of his European contemporaries coldly rational urban warehouses for humans" (Fowler, Frank Lloyd Wright: Graphic Artist).
