Description

In this monograph on the varied, remarkable and unusual work of Frank Lloyd Wright, Daniel Treiber sets out to trace the great metaphors of this original art of construction: with its fluidity, its wonderful texture, its refinement, its oscillations between the spectacular and the hidden, the transparent and the opaque, the smooth and the rough. This is an indispensable tool for anyone who wishes to find out about the architecture of the twentieth century and about one of its most exceptional and topical masters.

First Sentence
