Full Description
For Frank Lloyd Wright, the concept of total design was paramount. Only with a unity of architecture, cabinet work, furniture, lighting and decorative objects, Wright claimed, could the "organic" form he sought be fully achieved. "The most truly satisfactory apartments are those in which most or all of the furniture is built in as part of the original scheme considering the whole as an integral unit," asserted Wright. Thus Wright's architectural career, achievements and views are charted and discussed in this book.
