Description
Comprehensive, thoroughly researched study of the design and construction of this radical, inspiring workplace draws on much unpublished archival material to reveal Wright's design process. From the genesis of the large, structurally unique Administration Building--its design development, innovations, and furnishings--to the construction and completion of the Research Towers, Lipman's book presents a wealth of information. Insights into Wright's methods of dealing with his clients will be of special interest to admirers of the noted architect. Interestingly, the Johnson Wax executives were awed by Wright and conscious of his genius, but feared, at times, that the protracted design and construction process would send them either to the poorhouse or to the madhouse. Well-written, with excellent illustrations and plans, this book will appeal to anyone fascinated by architectural history and the works of Frank Lloyd Wright. 172 black-and-white illustrations.
