The public Wright

"Frank Lloyd Wright's Public Buildings," by Carla Lind, is one of a series of mini-books dedicated to Wright's amazing achievements as an architect. This volume contains the features that generally characterize the series as a whole: Lind's concise text, many excellent full-color photographs of both building interiors and exteriors, interesting sidebar quotes from Wright and others, and a brief but informative bibliography.This book profiles many of Wright's most noteworthy public buildings: the Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois; the Johnson Wax Building in Racine, Wisconsin; Beth Sholom Synagogue in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania; the Guggenheim Museum in New York City; and more.The many photographs effectively capture the beauty and revolutionary boldness of Wright's architectural vocabulary. The buildings range from structures that look like Mayan temples, to structures that look like extraterrestrial spaceships, to structures that mirror forms from the natural world. Read the book and appreciate the genius of Frank Lloyd Wright.
