About this Item

120 pages, chiefly illustrations (some colour); 19 x 26 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. "America's most famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright revolutionized American homes with his Prairie Style houses and organic sense of interior design. Between 1890 and 1930, Wright achieved international prominence and designed many of his most influential houses. It was also during these years that Wright worked with and employed a number of other highly talented architects and designers. In Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie School, Brooks examines the work of George Neidecken, Marion Mahony Griffin, Francis Barry Byrne, Herrman Von Holst, John Lloyd Wright, and others, relating their production and artistic philosophies to those of each other and Frank Lloyd Wright." - Publisher. Size: Oblong. Seller Inventory # 021780

About this title

Synopsis:

Shows the floor plans and designs for homes, banks, public buildings, and furniture created by Wright and other members of the Prairie School.

About the Author:

H. Allen Brooks may be credited with coining the designation ’Prairie School’ with the publication of his doctoral dissertation of that name in 1957. His classic work The Prairie School, which received the Alice Davis Hitchcock Book Award from the Society of Architectural Historians for the most distinguished work of scholarship in the history of architecture published by a North American scholar in 1971–72, has been in print continuously since then. Professor emeritus of fine arts at the University of Toronto and a past president of the Society of Architectural Historians, Brooks is also the author of Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie School and Le Corbusier’s Formative Years and is the editor of Prairie School Architecture: Studies from the ’Western Architect,’ Writings on Wright, The Le Corbusier Archive, and Le Corbusier.
