Robie House: A Frank Lloyd Wright Masterpiece

Description

A lavishly illustrated guide to one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most important residential buildingsCompleted in 1910, Robie House was one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpieces, emblematic of his Prairie style. Through years of turbulence in ownership and narrowly avoided demolition, changes were made to the building to suit its various occupants. Previous books about the iconic structure include images that reflect these adaptations, but now, with the publication of Robie House, readers can finally experience Wright’s original vision following the meticulous eleven-year restoration by the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust. Patrick F. Cannon provides invaluable historical context for the UNESCO World Heritage Site and its groundbreaking design, and all new photography by James Caulfield illuminates the breathtaking open plan that fully confirms this building as one of the landmarks of world architecture.
