Book Reviews of Frank Lloyd Wright The Houses
Book Review: disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
This book has many eye-catching photos, but lacks floorplans or other drawings that would assist in really understanding the development of wright's houses. I know he designed a large number of houses, but the ommissions of several key ones is dissappointing in a book that is attempting to be all-encompassing. The text is well written, but the photos, while of high quality, are more suited to a coffee-table book or magazine, not a scholarly volume on wright's houses. It is strange that an architect of such acclaim has so little by the way of documentation of the work, while many lesser known architects have exhaustive publications of every project, drawings, etc.
