The comprehensive source for as-built plans of Wright's work Published to critical acclaim more than a decade ago, The Frank Lloyd Wright Companion brought together in one volume all the essential descriptions, photographs, and plans of everything built by America's most famous architect. Now, for this handsomely produced revised edition, William Allin Storrer brings the history of every Wright structure up to the present. Storrer treats the full range of Wright's architecture--from vacation cottages in Montana and Michigan, to such monuments of modernism as the Johnson Wax Building and the Guggenheim Museum, to buildings completed after Wright's death in 1959. Since the first edition, some of Wright's buildings have been relocated, some have been refurbished, and, sadly, some have even been destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Storrer documents these changes and includes new information about the extent of Wright's work on the buildings, the contributions of his associates, and the details of his business arrangements. Wright aficionados will be especially pleased to find comprehensive coverage of the newly discovered Mitchell residence in Racine, Wisconsin. Organized chronologically, The Frank Lloyd Wright Companion features a description of each building that details the history of its design, construction, and ownership. Floor plans allow readers intimate access to each of Wright's built works. With nearly 1,000 photographs (many new to this edition), elevations, historical images, and floor plans that show changes in Wright's preliminary plans, this reference is unmatched in its authority. The indispensable centerpiece of any Wright collection, the newly revised Companion is a must for any serious library of art and architecture. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I recall when purchased new in shrink wrap in the late 1990's it cost about $50. Gone up in value since according to going prices at Amazon.
Includes only light background discussion of each project, but there is an architectural summary plan drawing for each entry apparently copied from original drawings.
The edition I have is all black & white. Accompanying color pics would have been nice, but I have a fair amount of other FLW books with color pics to compliment this book. Sounds like later editions of this book might have color photography according to other reviews.
I found the index and project numbering to be less that optimal. However, I suspect there might be a dozen ways to catalog all of FLW's works so I not complaining.
This is an excellent book that I regularly refer to when I get into my architecture book browsing mode. It is sized just right to rest in my lap for an afternoon of browsing in a comfy chair. Probably is now too expensive to casually purchase if found in a bookstore. I would definitely encourage at least reviewing at a local library. ( )
