Frank Lloyd Wright's Wisconsin
Frank Lloyd Wright's Wisconsin
How America's Most Famous Architect Found Inspiration in His Home State
ISBN: 9781493069149Americas most famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, was born in 1867 in the rolling hills of Richland Center, Wisconsin, to a family of Unitarians and Quakers. Even with world-class commissions like New York Citys Guggenheim Museum, his organic architecture remains rooted in Wisconsins landscape, from affordable-housing prototypes in Milwaukee to his summer home and architecture school in rural Spring Green. This comprehensive guide to Wrights designs (and those of his proteges) that are open to the public-as well as insider historical information about sites now demolished, and those available for "drive-bys" only-is for the architecture or history fan looking for tours, overnight stays or creative inspiration. Museum collections in Wisconsin that include Wrights furnishings and drawings are also included.
