Frank Lloyd Wright in Pop-Up Discover some of his most iconic works—Fallingwater, the Guggenheim, the Robie House—with the spectacular Frank Lloyd Wright in Pop-Up. Apart from making a pilgrimage to one of Wright’s famous landmarks, this innovative book offers the ultimate Frank Lloyd Wright experience! Explore Wright’s world in 3-D with five pop-ups that show his greatest masterpieces. Each pop-up focuses on a particular work and is accompanied by a detailed history of its planning, design, and current state. Thoughtful text uncovers the social, economic, and cultural influences that shaped Wright’s art, while extensive photographs, plans, and drawings illustrate how each project evolved. Visit the iconic and inspirational Fallingwater, Wright’s residential masterpiece, and see how the building epitomizes his theme of harmony with nature. Sitting atop a waterfall, the house appears to grow organically from the site, as if it has always been there. You’ll be impressed with the remarkably modern Robie House, regarded as one of the most significant examples of 20th-century architecture. Designed in the Prairie style, the home follows Wright’s concept that "the horizontal line is the line of domesticity." Explore other influential Wright works, including the Ennis House, considered to be years ahead of its time, and one of New York City’s most beloved landmarks, the Guggenheim Museum.
