50 Lessons to Learn from Frank Lloyd Wright

Unlike recent books that focus on Wright's tumultuous personal life and the Taliesin Fellowship, and equally unlike certain works that paint Wright as a mythic hero or genius, this beautiful and valuable volume aims to reveal some of the design tools Wright used to create exceptional architecture, interiors, and landscapes, and how we can learn from an American master and be inspired to thoughtfully design our own homes. Through succinct examples, texts by celebrated architectural experts Aaron Betsky and Gideon Fink Shapiro, and evocative visuals provided by photographer Andrew Pielage, they share fifty lessons, or "learning points," with an eye toward Wright-designed homes and interiors, ranging from "Be Inspired by Nature," "Project, Don't Enclose," and "Embroider Rooms with Textiles," to "Look to Asia," "Design for Resilience," and "Balance the Whole."

Each lesson is accompanied by color photographs, original Wright drawings, newly created diagrams, thoughtful analysis from the authors, and pearls of wisdom gathered from the master's writings on architecture and design.
