5.0 out of 5 stars
Full wright in a small book...,
By Lionel "lio" (Switzeland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frank Lloyd Wright (German and French Edition) (Paperback)
This book is a good monography to have in one very small size book, almost all the project made by wright. all the buildings are presented cronologically with b/w pictures and a small text, some drawings follow some projects. The text made by Bruno Zevi, is also very interesting.One very important things about this book, is that it is in GERMAN & FRENCH only!

By gianetarch (WOODSIDE, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frank Lloyd Wright (German and French Edition) (Paperback)
Why isn't this book published in english. This is absurd. Shame on you Birkhauser. Long live Zevi. Viva Italia.
