Description
There were perhaps three true pioneers of American architecture: Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, and William L. Price. While Wright and Sullivan are regarded as the key figures in American architecture, Price until recent rediscovery has been a somewhat sidelined figure.
Price was a disciple of Frank Furness and established the iconic resort architecutre that shaped Atlantic City and Miami.
Oft quoted as a forebear to the Art Deco style of the Roaring twenties, Price was known for commercial urban projects such as railway stations, to more eccentric community projects such as the Utopian Community in Rose Valley.
Price's role in shaping American architecture is thoroughly covered in this illustrated volume which documents the architects complete works. This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the arts and crafts, architecture and the history of American design
