On and By Frank Lloyd Wright. A Primer of Architectural

Principles contains fourteen analytical essays that use Wright's

buildings-the legacies he left us-as a means to understanding

his complex creative process. Architect of many of the twentieth

century's most important buildings, Wright largely

remains an enigma today. Written by renowned architects

and architectural historians. On and By Frank Lloyd Wright provides

a unique and informed look at Wright's buildings from

inception to completion, from his earliest works to his final

masterpieces. With over four hundred images, including

photographs, archival material, and diagrammatic analyses,

the primer provides a more complete understanding of

Wright's work than previous studies. The final word comes

from the master himself in a set of three essays in which Wright

discusses his own architectural philosophies-a final lesson

from this great American teacher.
