A Primer on Architectural Principles
Robert McCarter
"Frank Lloyd Wright: A Primer on Architectural Principles contains nine essays that illuminate the complex and creative mind of Frank Lloyd Wright at work. Focusing on Wright's work itself - the buildings and projects that Wright understood as the 'particular' examples of his 'general' principles of design - this book is written from the perspective of architects, rather than art historians, and offers a more complete understanding of Wright than that offered by more traditional studies. Over 400 photographs and diagrammatic analyses complement the incisive texts."

A. Dale Northup and Grant Carpenter Manson
"This is the first comprehensive examination of the houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Michigan. Many of them have never before been viewed in such depth and detail. As well exploring the design evolution of this great architect's work in Michigan, the book also recounts the interaction between Wright and his clients which made for a perfect union in what Wright advocated as a Usonian democracy."

Frank Lloyd Wright
Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer
The American architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) exerted a unique influence on the architecture of the first half of this century. This volume presents the whole range of his extraordinarily prolific output and shows clearly how his view of the world was a common factor in all of this varied architecture. From the early prairie houses to the Guggenheim Museum in New York, Frank Lloyd Wright saw man as the focal point of an architecture closely bound up with nature.

An Architecture for Democracy
Aaron G. Green and Donald P. De Nevi
"n 1957 Wright accepted this commission (his 770th) at age ninety. Wright died in 1959 at ninety-two years before the ground-breaking ceremony had occurred. His work was continued by Taliesin architects, primarily senior architect William Wesley Peters and Aaron Green. Like many of Wrights buildings, this civic center plan is adjusted to the landscape. Green reports Wright's saying "I'll bridge these hills with graceful arches" and quotes from Wright's speech at the acceptance of the commission: 'The beauty of Marin County should be expressed in our architecture. The buildings must not hurt the land. . . .The buildings of the new Civic Center will express this natural beauty; they will not be a blemish upon the landscape.' Often compared to an aqueduct, the building uses repeated arches (echoing the hills), a blue roof (not Wright's first choice of color) echoing the sky, and beige concrete echoing the original landscape. (Aaron Green added the lush landscape details.)"

The Nature of Frank Lloyd Wright
Carol R. Bolon, Robert S. Nelson, and Linda Seidel
Book Preface Excerpt:
"In October 1984, the Department of Art of the University of Chicago organized a symposium in celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie house, a landmark building on the university's campus. Eight of the papers that were presented on that occasion have been revised and are published here; each of these offers fresh insight into Wright's achievement, particularly the relation of his professional practice and personal philosophy to nature. Taken together, these papers provide a provocative interpretation of Wright's originality and present a reevaluation of his work in relation to that of his predecessors and his contemporaries, architects as well as writers."

Frank Lloyd Wright and Madison: Eight Decades of Artistic and Social Interaction
Paul E. Sprague, Diane Filipowicz, Mary Jane Hamiliton, Timothy Heggland, John O. Holzhueter, Donald G. Kalec, and Paul E. Sprague
"Frank Lloyd Wright and Madison offers the reader a unique opportunity to study the work of the architect during the entire course of his career in terms of its architectural, philosophical, and social evolution in one particularly significant location, his home town. During the entirety of Frank Lloyd Wright's distinguished career, no city figures as prominently in his life as does Madison, Wisconsin....Throughout his long life, he developed a network of friends and enemies in Madison with whom he was constantly interacting.
Never before has any publication considered Wright's architecture so broadly in terms of its social context. The thirty-two designs that resulted from nearly eighty years of harmony and conflict are explored in explicit and exacting detail by the six authors. Even though Wright's designs for Madison clients include a wide range of buildings (several boathouses, a church, a hospital, a civic center, and numerous residences among others), the recurring interactions between Wright and his clients, friends, acquaintances, and other residents of Madison demonstrate how intimately the architect's work was woven into and affected by the social fabric of the city. In engaging essays the authors provide astonishing insights into the ways Wright interacted socially with his clients and the larger community.
Because the authors have relied almost exclusively on primary sources while, at the same time, examining the documents with exceptional thoroughness, they have made significant discoveries about the nature of Wright's architectural vision and, in the process, have set straight many long-standing misconceptions. Their twenty-five essays are illustrated with 360 drawings, sketches, plans, and photographs, many never previously published."

Bay Area Houses
Sally Woodbridge and David Gebhard
"The Bay Area Tradition in domestic architecture combines a woodsy, natural style with natural materials to create dwellings which are friendly, relaxed, and often able to combine indoor and outdoor living spaces to take advantage of exceptional views and a mild climate.
In this new edition of Bay Area Houses, Sally Woodbridge carries the tradition forward from the mid-1970s to the present, identifying 15 buildings constructed in the past decade which show the evolution of the tradition as it responds to the problems of dwindling building sites and escalating costs. Her new essay, 'Arcadia Revisited,' is illustrated with over 50 photographs and drawings. David Gebhard has added a Foreword to this edition which discusses interest in the bay Tradition by the Post Modernists and the increasing body f information on its architects."

In the Realm of Ideas
Frank Lloyd Wright, Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, and Gerald Nordland
'“One hundred years from now, people will look at his ideas, his principles, his forms, and see—with wonder and amazement—that those ideas are still fresh, vibrant, applicable, and intensely prophetic.”—Olgivanna Lloyd Wright (1969).
Nearly twenty years later, this exhibition of Frank Lloyd Wright’s principles and forms validates Mrs. Wright’s prophecy highlighting his ideas—the foundation of his achievement.
Part 1 of the book, prepared by Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, contains four sections defined by Wright’s own words: “The Destruction of the Box: The Freedom of Space”; “The Nature of the Site”; “Materials and Methods”; and “The Architecture of Democracy.” The 150 illustrations in this part (86 in full color), are dazzling visions of what was but is no more, what was planned but never built, as well as those architectural treasures that continue to enrich and challenge our society. The illustrations are accompanied by quotations from Frank Lloyd Wright that demonstrate how his ideas found expression in his designs.
Part 2 contains 5 essays that serve to increase our awareness and appreciation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s contribution: Jack Quinan, “Frank Lloyd Wright in 1893: The Chicago Context”; Aaron Green, “Organic Architecture: The Principles of Frank Lloyd Wright”; E. T. Casey, “Structure in Organic Architecture”; Narciso Menocal, “Frank Lloyd Wright’s Architectural Democracy: An American Jeremiad”; and Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, “The Second Career: 1924–1959.” An appendix provides full descriptions of the works in part 1, including notes on media, methods, and measurements.'
