Review :
'A new production which provides a good introduction to the life, thoughts and works of 'The Master' and should have great appeal to the interested layperson as well as to the architect. - It provides a wide coverage and an appopriate overview of the man and the life with a stronger emphasis on the domestic work. From Oak Park, from California, from the post-2nd WW period, the so-called Usonian houses, all the usual suspects and of course Bear Run (Falling Water). There is good photo coverage of Taliesin, the original establishment in Wisconsin, twinned as it were with Taliesin West in Arizona, where there is an especially splendid photo coverage of this extraordinary desert complex. - Most useful is the seven-page timeline, which reveals the prodigious Wright output over some 68 years, while the 154 picture-packed pages reveal the man's versatility and architectural imagination. - It is particularly pleasing to see more of the Price Tower at Bartlesville, elegant and decorative through its highly articulated detail rather than applied features, a fascinating contrast to the suavity of the Johnson Research building. - The profound spatial understanding, three-dimensional beyond measure is brought to light in many of the superb illustrations - The Wright Experience in its photography offers an almost authentic hapticity. Some of the full-page spreads, for instance, are ravishing - It is lush, a generous book of serious intent and a fitting celebration, well produced and well worth the cost of a modest meal for one in a good restaurant.' (Trevor Dannatt RA, journal of the C20 Society, Winter 2008-9) "THERE is more beauty in a fine ground plan than in almost any of its ultimate consequences." Frank Lloyd Wright believed in following through from first principles, and we're only now, perhaps, realising how far he was ahead of his time; just starting to apprehend his ideas of the "organic" and of "integrity" in architecture. Wright would have appreciated the flair with which the landmarks of his career are presented here, and still more the seriousness with which they are considered. A stunningly illustrated, utterly absorbing book about a fascinating figure who transcends his age and the field of architecture. -'Books in Brief': The Scotsman
