Produktbeschreibung
Frank Lloyd Wright's $10,000 Home is a design-focused portrait of that iconic building, featuring rare building illustrations, beautiful maps, and intimate family stories. Extensive photographs offer a distinctive look at the house's history, the families that lived there, and the thoughtful process of its protection and restoration. When Emil and Anna Bach approached Frank Lloyd Wright to design and build their Chicago home in 1915, he quoted a cost of $10,000, or $250,000 in modern purchasing power. Wright is known for his grand, international designs like the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo and the Guggenheim in New York. But he also designed beautiful and carefully practical small family homes like the Bach's "little dream house."
Autorenporträt
An avid admirer of Frank Lloyd Wright's work, Robert Hartnett is the author of Frank Lloyd Wright's $10,000 Home: History, Design, and Restoration of the Bach House. He has volunteered with the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust as a multi-site tour guide in Chicago and Oak Park, Illinois. His publication with Master Wings grew out of his belief that the role of architecture in our communities, and the history of the Bach House in particular, is an important topic that should be shared in engaging and informative ways. In addition to architectural writing, Bob is a gardener and craftsman. He lives in Illinois with his wife and family.
