Concentrating primarily on residences, Heinz uses his own photographs to examine construction techniques that are just as unorthodox as the architect himself, indicating that Wright's approach to detailing was pragmatic rather than conventional and was based on traditional common sense. Previously unpublished sketches on tracing paper provide a rare insight into Wright's design progression.The biography of America's most celebrated architect. With the emergence of the Post-Modernist movement, Wright's brilliant designs now enjoy an unprecedented resurgence in popularity. This book documents his incredible legacy.
