Frank Lloyd Wright at a Glance: Glass (Frank Lloyd Wright at a Glance Series)

Glass is the material that, perhaps above all others, defines the work of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. From the art glass of the early Prairie Houses to the dome of the Guggenheim Museum in New York, his many innovative designs earned him a reputation as one of the boldest and most pioneering architects of his time.
Throughout his career, Wright incorporated glass into his buildings to create wonderful, naturally lit open spaces, always staying faithful to his "organic" philosophy and fundamental respect for nature. His belief in breaking down the traditional boundaries between the outside and inside and his love of glass led him to produce an array of stunning, decorative glass designs for both windows and furnishings. Widely copied, his ideas transformed domestic design and created new models for living both in the United States and throughout the world.
This illustrated book showcases Wright's work with glass. It includes a chronological survey, with detailed pictorial accounts of his use of glass in a variety of buildings, from his own home and studio at Oak Park in 1889 to the Marin County Civic Center, California of 1957.
Featuring Wright's most innovative and beautiful glass design, Frank Lloyd Wright at a Glance: Glass is a fitting tribute to Wright's genius.
