Wright`s Writings: Reflections on Culture and Politics, 1894-1959, Frampton Kenneth

Writings on Wright traces the discursive work of Frank Lloyd Wright through a set of essays by Kenneth Frampton. Originally written as a series of introductions to the five-volume collection of Wrights writing published in 1992, the essays are gathered here as a critical survey of the architects written and spoken work--a body of text that testifies to Wrights staggering prolificacy, pleasure in argument, diversity of interests, and desire to engage with timely political debates. Alongside these five essays, Writings on Wright provides a visual record of Wrights literary output, demonstrating the range of media he employed in the act of making architecture. Read together, it presents a history of the architect through the essays, books, letters, lectures, and speeches he wrote as well as the material and social cultures he navigated.
