Description:
Frank Lloyd Wright, Complete Works, volume 1 covers
the early Chicago years and the Prairie Houses, the period which
provoked a profound influence on European architects. Wright's
architectural work during these early years was mostly residential, as
it would be throughout his career, and from his earliest work, Frank
Lloyd Wright demonstrated a knowledge of and respect for natural
materials.
In the ten years betweeen 1896 and 1906 he developed and perfected the
so-called "prairie house." Wright believed the architect should have
complete charge of architectural design, and for him this meant
interior furnishings as well as exterior landscape. The 1908 Avery
Coonley residence, the administration building for the Larkin Soap
Company (1903–1905), and the Unity Temple (1905) are examples of major
works from the period.
