Description

Prairie Skyscraper traces the history and evolution of Wright's recently restored nineteen-storey skyscraper masterwork, which takes its place beside the S.C. Johnson Wax Research Tower as one of Wright's only two vertical structures - and, at 221 feet tall, his largest. Built as a multi-use skyscraper in 1956, the building is now a luxury hotel and arts center, featuring collections of the works of Bruce Goff and Frank Lloyd Wright, and soon a new museum facility designed by Zaha Hadid. Now, with all-new colour photography, we are given access to this extraordinary architectural gem and the Wright-designed furnishings custom made for it.

Of particular interest in the book, in addition to the history of this thoroughbred building, are the contents of the Wright collection therein, including many drawings and items of furniture.
