Zustand: Gut. 102 S.; viele Illustr.; 27 cm; kart. Gutes Ex.; Einband etwas berieben. - Frank Lloyd Wright (* 8. Juni 1867 in Richland Center, Wisconsin; 9. April 1959 in Phoenix, Arizona) war ein US-amerikanischer Architekt, Innenarchitekt, Schriftsteller und Kunsthändler. . Wright war einer der ersten Architekten, die den Begriff einer organischen Bauweise" benutzten. Es ging ihm dabei um einen organischen Zusammenhang der Architektur mit den verschiedenen Elementen der Kunst, der Natur und der menschlichen Lebensbereiche, also weniger im biologischen Sinne. Unter dem Namen Taliesin gründete Wright mehrere Ateliers" mitten in der amerikanischen Prärie, die als Entwicklungsplattformen für die neue, unabhängige amerikanische Architektur dienen sollten. Wrights Büro war ein Anziehungspunkt für Jungarchitekten aus aller Welt, die bei ihm zeitweise arbeiteten und seinen Stil später in ihren Heimatländern weiterentwickelten . Usonien" (Usonia) nennt Wright sein visionäres Amerika. Es besteht aus einer von ihm erdachten neuen urbanen Form: Broadacre City (Weite Stadt). Nur hier genössen die Menschen wahre Individualität" (und nicht robuste Individualität" = Egoismus) in einer echten ganzheitlichen Demokratie. Kennzeichnend für diese Vision sind die Werte der Unabhängigkeitserklärung. Da alle potentiellen Führer (Politiker, Philosophen, Künstler, ) versagt hätten, wird Usonien von einem Architekten geleitet. Die Regierung nimmt nur noch Verwaltungsaufgaben wahr. .

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Immediately west of Chicago, where the Eisenhower Expressway narrows, sits Oak Park, a village proud of its rich tradition of cultural and social diversity. This birthplace of Ernest Hemingway and Doris Humphrey, the home of Frank Lloyd Wright, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Percy Julian, is a cultural Mecca in the Midwest, with an internationally recognized reputation for its impressive array of architecture. From Victorian mansions and Neo-classical structures to Prairie School buildings and exciting contemporary architecture, Oak Park is more than just a successful residential suburb of Chicago. While the faces of its most famous citizens are recognizable, it is the creativity of its people and the beauty of its built environment that make this community so unique. In Oak Park, Illinois: Continuity and Change, the author explores the way the Village has continuously adapted to a changing world while maintaining the principles and drive that have always made Oak Park an exciting place to live and visit. As Oak Park awaits its Centennial in 2002, its citizens are facing and welcoming the challenges ahead. Long time Villagers and newer residents alike embrace the opportunities for growth and evolution, within the framework of continuity and change.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - "A fascinating historical account?A snapshot of the American Dream culminating with this country's mid-century greatness" (The Wall Street Journal) as a man endeavors to build the finest, fastest, most beautiful ocean liner in history.The story of a great American Builder at the peak of his power, in the 1940s and 1950s, William Francis Gibbs was considered America's best naval architect. His quest to build the finest, fastest, most beautiful ocean liner of his time, the SS United States, was a topic of national fascination. When completed in 1952, the ship was hailed as a technological masterpiece at a time when "made in America" meant the best. Gibbs was an American original, on par with John Roebling of the Brooklyn Bridge and Frank Lloyd Wright of Fallingwater. Forced to drop out of Harvard following his family's sudden financial ruin, he overcame debilitating shyness and lack of formal training to become the visionary creator of some of the finest ships in history. He spent forty years dreaming of the ship that became the SS United States. William Francis Gibbs was driven, relentless, and committed to excellence. He loved his ship, the idea of it, and the realization of it, and he devoted himself to making it the epitome of luxury travel during the triumphant post-World War II era. Biographer Steven Ujifusa brilliantly describes the way Gibbs worked and how his vision transformed an industry. A Man and His Ship is a tale of ingenuity and enterprise, a truly remarkable journey on land and sea.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Mamah Borthwick was an energetic, intelligent, and charismatic woman who earned a master's degree at a time when few women even attended college, translated writings by a key figure of the early feminist movement, and taught at one of Germany's best schools for boys. She is best known, however, as the mistress of the famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and for her shocking murder at the renowned Wisconsin home he built for her, Taliesin. A Brave and Lovely Woman offers an important corrective to the narrative of Wright and Borthwick, a love story as American in character as it is Shakespearean in conclusion.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Frank Lloyd Wright, America's most noted architect, crossed boundaries as he thought and as he designed. He discussed subjects like democracy, machine, convention, alternatively as advocate and adversary, and his architecture crossed the line between inside and out with projections and recesses whose complex boundaries add depth to our experience of architecture and to our understanding of ideas.Wright also crossed boundaries of tradition in search of a new architecture he called 'organic architecture' that embodied a unique American culture based on nature rather than imported precedent. For him, nature was not just the outside world; it included his own mind that interpreted nature by means of abstraction not imitation. That interpretation was initiated when he saw his mentor Louis Sullivan draw his amazing ornament.Crossing Boundaries with Frank Lloyd Wright traces how Wright extrapolated the principles that structured Sullivan's ornament to the design of a whole building. Author Sidney K. Robinson proposes that the graphic pattern Wright used in An Autobiography is a diagram of an architect crossing between building and nature, between asserting and questioning. Following this pattern, Wright came to see ornament from the perspective of architecture and architecture from the perspective of ornament. That is how ornament can lead to architecture.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Priscilla J. Henken lived at Taliesin with her husband David as part of The Fellowship, the group of acolytes who made Taliesin an architectural colony from the 1930s through the 1950s. Her lively description of day-to-day life on a communal working farm in south central Wisconsin provides unique insights into the world of Wright during the period and will fascinate Wright enthusiasts as well as those with specialized interest in midcentury architecture; social and spiritual movements; and the clash of cultures represented by two socialist, Jewish New Yorkers and the Midwestern farm community at Taliesin. Henken vividly describes the daily program, from cooking duties to editing the great architect's autobiography and watching films. The internecine battles of the apprentices and the contentious relationship between Wright, the apprentices, and his third wife, Olgivanna Lazovich, enliven the account. Annotations supplement the diary, and accompanying essays by several scholars explore the cultural history of the period.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The renowned architectural historian and critic, beloved Yale professor, and outspoken public activist Vincent Scully (1920-2017) emerged in the 1950s as a guiding voice in American architecture. This intellectual biography of Scully's life and career traces the formative moments in his thinking, mapping his relationships with a constellation of architects, artists, and cultural personalities of the past one hundred years. Scully charted an unlikely course from postwar modernism to postmodernism and New Urbanism, overturning outdated beliefs and changing the face of the built environment as he went. A teacher for more than 60 years and a figure of immense importance in the field, he was central to an expansive network of associations, from Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Kahn, and Robert Venturi to Robert Stern, Harold Bloom, and Norman Mailer. Scully's extensive body of work, with its range spanning centuries and civilizations, coalesced around the core beliefs that architecture shapes and is shaped by society, and that the best architecture responds, above all else, to the human need for community and connection. This timely appraisal provides a platform for reassessing the legacy of these values as well as how we write and think about architecture in the twenty-first century.
