Copies will be available for purchase at The Book Loft Oak Park and at the event.
Of Frank Lloyd Wright’s 532 completed projects, of which only about 400 remain standing, nearly 100 are in Illinois, with the highest concentration in Oak Park, where the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio is located. Combining architectural history with human interest, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Illinois explores a selection of 40 Frank Lloyd Wright–designed sites within four hours of Chicago. Readers will learn about each site’s history, from its stewardship and commission to how materials were selected and the natural landscapes were used. Organized by region and covering sites built from 1889 to 1959, this book is the perfect travel guide for Wright fans visiting Illinois, as well as for those wanting to learn more from the comfort of their own homes.
“These pages give voice to the people who do the critical work of stewarding Wright’s buildings. [The book] goes beyond photos and factoids to relate the joys and challenges of preserving this incredible design legacy in the state that is home to more of Wright’s enduringly significant buildings than any other.” —ERIC ROGERS, Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy.
“A great read for anyone from a novice Wright fan to an experienced scholar. Read this book. You are sure to learn something new about Wright’s work.” —ROBERT J. HARTNETT, author of The Bootleg Homes of Frank Lloyd Wright: His Clandestine Work Revealed.
