Because of rural masterworks like Fallingwater and Taliesin, we may think of Frank Lloyd Wright as an architect who deplored the city and whose urban vision was limited to a utopian plan for a network of agrarian communities called Broadacre City. Lavishly illustrated with drawings, plans, maps, and photographs, this revisionist look at America's foremost 20th-century architect reveals Wright's larger, more complex urbanism, demonstrated across the span of his career. Beginning with Wright's plans from the 1890s through mid-century structures in Chicago, Washington, Pittsburgh, and Baghdad, Neil Levine demonstrates Wright's place among the leading creators of the modern city.
