Description
Usonia, New York is the story of a group of idealistic men and women who, following WWII, enlisted Frank Lloyd Wright to design and help them build a cooperative utopian community near Pleasantville, N.Y.
Through both historical memorabilia and contemporary colour photos, this book reveals the still-thriving community based on concepts Wright advocated in his Broadcare City proposals.
Over the years, thousands of architects, scholars, planners and students have visited the community, but no book has yet appeared on this remarkable site.
Reisley, one of the original members of Usonia (and still a resident), has written the first full account to illuminate the events, problems, and passions of a democratic group of people developing a designed environment an hour from New York City and the ups and downs of working with Americas most famous and most famously volatile architect.
Fully illustrated through-out.
