Frank Lloyd Wright defined space as “the invisible fountain from which all rhythms flow and through which they must pass.” The genius of a visionary architect unfolds in this spectacular, over-sized volume, which features Wright’s best-known works, from Fallingwater to the Guggenheim Museum, as well as many that have received less attention. With a fascinating introductory essary by Margo Stipe, curator of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation's archive, plus stunning photography, Wright's own renderings, floor plans, a fully comprehensive annotated timeline and other special features.

Reviews:
"A new production which provides a good introduction to the life, thoughts and works of ‘The Master’ and should have great appeal to the interested layperson as well as to the architect. I sought the right adjective … sumptuous … it is well done and the original photography by Balthazar Korab carries all before it.
It provides a wide coverage and an appopriate overview of the man and the life with a stronger emphasis on the domestic work. From Oak Park, from California, from the post-2^nd WW period, the so-called Usonian houses, all the usual suspects and of course Bear Run (Falling Water). There is good photo coverage of Taliesin, the original establishment in Wisconsin, twinned as it were with Taliesin West in Arizona, where there is an especially splendid photo coverage of this extraordinary desert complex.…
Most useful is the seven-page timeline, which reveals the prodigious Wright output over some 68 years, while the 154 picture-packed pages reveal the man’s versatility and architectural imagination.…

The Johnson Wax office and research tower is covered, four pages only alas, then five buildings for worship, ‘sacred spaces’.… These five works alone justify the status Wright is accorded.
The Guggenheim features in ‘late masterpieces’ and it is described how Wright’s concept was compromised from the idea of a home for a permanent collection of non-figurative art to one for changing exhibitions. … It is particularly pleasing to see more of the Price Tower at Bartlesville, elegant and decorative through its highly articulated detail rather than applied features, a fascinating contrast to the suavity of the Johnson Research building.…
Plans are provided, but these are but diagrams and do little to make manifest the magical flow of space in Wright’s buildings. The profound spatial understanding, three-dimensional beyond measure is brought to light in many of the superb illustrations…
The Wright Experience in its photography offers an almost authentic hapticity. Some of the full-page spreads, for instance, are ravishing…
It is lush, a generous book of serious intent and a fitting celebration, well produced and well worth the cost of a modest meal for one in a good restaurant."
—Trevor Dannatt RA, journal of the Twentieth Century Society, winter 2008/2009

' "THERE is more beauty in a fine ground plan than in almost any of its ultimate consequences." Frank Lloyd Wright believed in following through from first principles, and we're only now, perhaps, realising how far he was ahead of his time; just starting to apprehend his ideas of the "organic" and of "integrity" in architecture. Wright would have appreciated the flair with which the landmarks of his career are presented here, and still more the seriousness with which they are considered. A stunningly illustrated, utterly absorbing book about a fascinating figure who transcends his age and the field of architecture.'
—The Scotsman, 1 November 2008

“This is an ideal book to introduce the work of one of the 20th century’s great masters to a new generation and rekindle the amazement of long-standing Frank Lloyd Wright admirers. The Wright Experience is what it says: richly illustrated in colour with the photographs of Balthazar Korab, on pages large enough for the reader to enter the world of this master architect. It features a timeline to prepare the reader for a sweep through the major works, from the early days in Oak Park, to the final works. Edited by Sara Hunt with an introduction by Margo Stipe of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, we get a clear and comprehensive view of the progression of works, supported by redrawn plans of many of the buildings that usefully key to the photographs and, for good measure, reproductions of some of the master’s great drawings.”
