Frank Lloyd Wright was one of the world's most prominent and influential architects. He developed a series of highly individual styles, influenced the design of buildings all over the world, and to this day remains America's most famous architect. Wright was also well known in his lifetime. His colorful personal life frequently made headlines, most notably for the failure of his first two marriages and for the 1914 fire and murders at his Taliesin studio.
Frank Lloyd Wright pioneered a bold kind of architecture, one in which the spirit of modern man truly 'lived in his buildings'. This title presents a compendium of Wright's some of the most critically important - and personally revealing - writings on various conceivable aspects of his craft.

Early Visions : The Great Achievements Of The Oak Park Years
Originally published as Ausgefuhrte Bauten in Germany in 1911, Frank Lloyd Wright: Early Visions reproduces the first book of photographs of Wright's architecture. Here are the works of what is called his Oak Park period, the years between 1893 and 1910 when Wright lived and worked in Oak Park, Illinois. Included are more than thirty houses, as well as some public buildings. Early Visions covers the idealistic, formative years of Frank Lloyd Wright's career. In many ways, they were the most important years. A number of the buildings reproduced have been demolished, but many others still stand. Indeed, today under the auspices of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Oak Park celebrates the Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie School of Architecture in a National Historic District, with twenty-five structures by Wright. It is the largest collection of his built designs in the world. His home and studio at 951 Chicago Avenue, where he lived and worked from 1889 to 1909, is open to the public, and tours of his other buildings may be arranged. In this new edition of the first book of Wright's architectural photographs, the spirit of these and other early works by the greatest of American architects remains bold and vital.
