Summary:
With the advent of Prairie style architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright embarked on a journey that would forever change the course of architecture. During this extraordinarily prolific period, roughly the first quarter of the twentieth century, Wright built the first great modern American houses. He cast aside many of the conventions of the past, opening up interior spaces so that there might be a more subtle flow of rooms. The plans for Prairie style architecture were based on a tartan plaid of main spaces and secondary spaces, of public rooms and circulation spaces. Their decentralized asymmetry did not follow the Beaux Arts insistence on a primary, often dominating, focal point—a vestige of its roots as a symbolic architecture for divine-right royalty. Following Wright's philosophy, Prairie design was emphatically democratic and non-hierarchical. Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie Houses comprehensively demonstrates this philosophy. Focusing on interiors and details, the book features more than 70 Prairie style houses and other buildings, still extant, in lavish, full-color photography.

Summary:
The mid-twentieth century was one of the most productive and inventive periods in Wright's career, producing such masterworks as the Guggenheim Museum, Price Tower, Fallingwater, the Usonian houses, and the Loveness House, as well as a vast array of innovative furniture and object design. With a variety of shapes and forms-ranging from honeycombs to spirals-this period is an important contribution to mid-century modernism. Mentoring such talents as Richard Neutra and Rudolph Schindler among others, Wright was one of the most influential proponents of the simplicity, democratic designs, and organic forms that characterize Mid-Century Modern. With lavish, new, previously unpublished color photographs and detailed plans, Frank Lloyd Wright: Mid-Century Modern is a comprehensive examination of an underserved period in Wright's career.

Summary:
Frank Lloyd Wright is not only synonymous with architecture, his name is also synonymous with the American house in the twentieth century. In particular, his residential work has been the subject of continuing interest and controversy. Wright's Fallingwater (1935), the seminal masterpiece perched over a waterfall deep in the Pennsylvania highlands, is perhaps the best-known private house in the history of the world. In fact, Wright's houses-from his Prairie style Robie House (1906) in Chicago, to the Storer (1923) and Freeman (1923) houses in Los Angeles, and Taliesen West (1937) in the Arizona desert-are all touchstones of modern architecture. For the first time, all 289 extant houses are shown here in color photographs. Along with Weintraub's photos and a selection of floor plans and archival images, the book includes text and essays by several Wright scholars.

L'œuvre d'Oscar Niemeyer a ouvert de nouvelles perspectives à l'architecture moderne du XXe siècle. Niemeyer est connu avant tout pour ses grandes réalisations institutionnelles au Brésil et en Europe. Mais un autre aspect significatif de sa carrière reste pratiquement ignoré : ses projets de résidences privées. Ce livre nous les montre, comme autant de chefs-d'œuvre architecturaux méconnus. Souvent construites pour des membres de sa famille ou d'importants commanditaires (quand ce n'était pas pour lui-même), ces maisons offrent une richesse de solutions correspondant à une grande variété de sites : les pentes abruptes de Rio, les plaines de Brasilia, les plages de l'Atlantique, la forêt tropicale, les quartiers résidentiels de Rio et de São Paulo... Certaines sont de conception audacieuse, comme celle que Niemeyer a construite pour lui-même en 1953, avec son toit de béton de forme libre et ses murs de verre en arrondi. D'autres révèlent le goût de Niemeyer pour le style colonial et l'architecture traditionnelle hérités de l'occupation portugaise au Brésil. Mais la vision unificatrice de Niemeyer domine toutes ces variations, attestée par une vie de recherches et d'innovations à travers tous ses projets de maisons - construites ou non.

The book is organized by the green concepts Wright used--including passive solar design and the use of thermal massing, passive berm insulation, environmentally sensitive landscaping, passive ventilation systems, passive natural light, and intelligent and artful adaptation of technology--with examples from different houses. It shows how Wright evolved certain ideas that continue to spur discussions of green architecture design today.
