Frank Lloyd Wrights Kalifornische Häuser

Smyth-sewn casebound with jacket, 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 in., 60 pp. App. 40 images Text: English F.L.Wright, always an experimenter, devised an innovative building system in the 1920-s that he used first on four striking houses in the Los Angeles area. This book features these internationally renowned compositions and a fifth that shares their exotic form. Hollyhock house, named for the owner's favorite flower, conjures up ancient Mayan temples. The Millard house (La Miniatura) was the first of Wright's experimental concrete-block designs. It was followed by the Storer, Freeman, and Ennis houses, all of them woven out of 'textile' blocks stacked one atop the other in ingenious variations.
