Description: Published in Spanish. Introduction: (Frank) Lloyd Wright, Arquitecto Del Futuro (Architect of the Future).
Presentamos en este cuaderna tustrado una historia que... We Present in this ribbed frame a story that will certainly attract the attention of young people, for its dynamism, for its human value, and, above all, for demonstrating how individual effort, when supported by the firm decision to succeed, manages to reach its goal. That story is that of the great American architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
He was born in the last century, but he was one of those men who have the extraordinary ability to always move with time, and sometimes to get ahead of it.
In general, people defend the ideas and customs of their time, and a large majority is incapable of understanding the concerns of the new generations.
(Frank) Lloyd Wright always marched at the head of the young. Shortly before his death, in his last projects, he displayed more imagination, courage and originality than any of the brilliant new architects of the 20th century.
One of these last projects - that of the Civic Center of Marin County, in the State of California included a gigantic skyscraper almost two kilometers high, and more than five hundred floors.
From his first works, he stood out among all the architects of his country (United States) for his unwavering progress.

Description: Children's Book. Born in Wisconsin in 1867, Frank Lloyd Wright became obsessed with a set of building blocks his mother had given to him on his ninth birthday. He grew up to become the father of organic architecture and the greatest American architect of all time, having designed more than 1,100 buildings during his lifetime. These included private homes - such as the stunning Fallingwater, churches, temples, a hotel, and the world-famous Guggenheim Museum in New York City. When asked how he could create so many designs, he answered, "I can't get them out fast enough." Frank Lloyd Wright was a man ahead of his time who could barely keep up with his own ideas!

Description: Young Adult. "Although you may not recognize the name of this famous American architect, you may be more familiar with some of his most popular buildings. From the Guggenheim Museum in New York City to Fallingwater in Pennsylvania, Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic designs have given him the distinction of being the first architect to develop a distinctly American style. Learn more about this critically acclaimed architect during the 150th anniversary of his birth. Wright was born on June 8, 1867 in Richland Center, Wisconsin. During his childhood, Wright spent his summers in Wisconsin, and fell in love with the rolling landscape. This inspired him as an architect to incorporate a more organic feel into his buildings. While in college, Wright worked with an architect in order to pay his tuition. Upon discovering his own passion and talent for the subject, he dropped out of school and went to work for an architectural firm in Chicago. He eventually parted ways with the firm and began designing a series of public buildings and private residencies that earned him fame, including the earthquake proof Imperial Hotel in Tokyo..."

Author: Rosenstock, Barb; Art by Neal, Christopher Silas
Description: Dust jacket: "Frank Lloyd Wright loved the Wisconsin prairie where he was born, with its wide-open sky and waves of tall grass. As his family moved across the United States, young Frank found his own home in shapes: rectangles, triangles, half-moons, and circles. When he returned to his beloved prairie, Frank pursued a career in architecture. But he didn't think the Victorian-era homes found there fit the prairie landscape. Using his knowledge and love of shapes, Frank created houses more organic to the land. He redesigned the American home inside and out, developing a truly unique architecture style that celebrated the country's landscape and lifestyle."

Author: Anonymous
Description: "Frank Lloyd Wright: Freedom in Architecture. A young architect had startling things to say 60 years ago when he first began his work. He still says many of the same things, but his audience listens with greater attention. Today, when we think of modern architecture, we think of Frank Lloyd Wright, artist and master craftsman. Compare a modern house with the house of 60 years ago. Compare the long, low lives of the roof with the high, pointed gables of the 1890's; the broad expanse of glass with the tall, narrow windows; the few spacious rooms with the many rooms that are small and cramped. Alone, Frank Lloyd Wright has not brought about these changes, but his influence has had much to do with them..." Includes two photographs of the Price Tower and Wingspread models.
