ISBN: 0811817857; 9780811817851"Known primarily for his iconic midwestern buildings, Frank Lloyd Wright found in the western United States a new canvas on which to apply his theories of organic architecture. There he found radically different climates, abundant but unfamiliar building materials - even a different quality of light, which he sought to incorporate into his progressive designs. Surveying twenty-three projects in all the western states outside California, Frank Lloyd Wright: The Western Work shows the profound leaps Wright made in his designs during the second half of his remarkable career."--Jacket. ¶ Contents: Introduction 7 Arthur Dyson -- Como Orchards Summer Colony, 1909, Darby, Montana 14 -- Arizona Biltmore, 1927, Phoenix, Arizona 19 -- Taliesin West, 1937-59, Scottsdale, Arizona 24 -- Friedman Residence, 1945, Pecos, New Mexico 32 -- Griggs Residence, 1946, Tacoma, Washington 35 -- Carlson Residence, 1950, Phoenix, Arizona 40 -- David Wright Residence, 1950, Phoenix, Arizona 47 -- Adelman Residence, 1951, Phoenix, Arizona 52 -- Blair Residence, 1952, Cody, Wyoming 58 -- Brandes Residence, 1952, Issaquah, Washington 64 -- Teater Studio and Residence, 1952, Bliss, Idaho 70 -- Pieper Residence, 1952, Paradise Valley, Arizona 72 -- Boomer Residence, 1953, Phoenix, Arizona 76 -- Price Residence, 1954, Paradise Valley, Arizona 82 -- Tracy Residence, 1955, Normandy Park, Washington 90 -- Gordon Residence, 1956, Wilsonville, Oregon 96 -- Stromquist Residence, 1958, Bountiful, Utah 101 -- Lockridge Medical Clinic, 1958, Whitefish, Montana 106 -- Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium, 1959, Tempe, Arizona 111 -- Lykes Residence, 1959, Phoenix, Arizona 116 -- Jester-Pfeiffer Residence, 1938/1971, Scottsdale, Arizona 122 -- First Christian Church, 1950/1971, Phoenix, Arizona 128 -- Pottery House, 1942/1985, Santa Fe, New Mexico 134 -- Unbuilt Works in the West 140 -- Further Reading 142.Architecture organique -- États-Unis (Ouest) Organic architecture.
