This book, illustrated in color throughout, features many photographs that have been especially commissioned for this project. It includes a chronological survey of Wright's work in glass, with detailed pictorial accounts of his use of glass in buildings from his own house and studio in Oak Park in 1889 to the Marin County Civic Center, California of 1957. The final chapter concentrates on Wright's use of glass in his furniture and furnishings. The 20th century's most influential architect utilized glass in a number of ways to distinguish his designs of churches, public buildings, and private residences. This comprehensive book traces Wright's innovative use of art glass in windows, lighting, interior decor, furnishings, and his famed Luxifer prisms-and provides a chronological pictorial survey of the glass in each documented building designed by Wright.
