FROM THE PUBLISHER

Frank Lloyd Wright is justly regarded as one of the most important and prolific architects there has ever been, and the defining genius of American architecture. He was fearless when it came to experimenting with modern technology and produced some of the most remarkable buildings of his time. His mastery of space allowed him to respond to his clients' needs to create rooms that flowed into one another; indeed, he could be described as the inventor of open-plan living. Such houses as the Robie House and the celebrated Fallingwater are more than mere machines for living - they elevate and enrich the human spirit.
