Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward features a lifetime of achievement by this titan of American architecture through newly commissioned contemporary photography, archival photography, and wonderfully detailed drawings of more than 200 projects, including such masterworks as the S. C. Johnson & Sons Administration Building in Wisconsin, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and Taliesin West, Wright’s desert home in Arizona, as well as less-known projects designed for Baghdad, Iraq, and beyond. The book is richly accompanied by authoritative text from some of the most important Frank Lloyd Wright scholars and writers at work today, and presents a timely reevaluation of the work and life of Frank Lloyd Wright within the context of social spaces, in the spirit of the exhibition.

Great collection of his Frank Lloyd Wright's work,
By Hapagirl (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward (Hardcover)
I'm a big fan of Frank Lloyd Wright's work and this is a great compilation of his drawings and philosophy. If you've seen his exhibit displayed at the Guggenheim, many of those works are captured in this book. It goes into detail on his concepts and buildings he's built during his lifetime.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Wright and the Guggenhiem,
By
This review is from: Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward (Hardcover)
If you were lucky enough to see the Frank Lloyd Wright show at the Guggenhiem Museum in New York, you would know what to expect in this tome. The show picked a few of his projects, built and unbuilt, and did an excellent job of research on those buildings and showed comparisons with others of his work. This book is not for the casual Wright devotee but one who wants to get some depth in their understanding of his work.

Terrific book - sent quickly,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward (Hardcover)
This book was sent in the same box as another, with the box somehow becoming contaminated with a fine black powder (soot?). Although the other book suffered, this one did not as it was tightly wrapped in plastic shrink wrap.
