Frank Lloyd Wright's Hardy House (Hardcover)
Architect icon Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was commissioned in 1906 by Thomas P. Hardy to build a house in Racine, Wisconsin, on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. The result was to become known as the 'Hardy House' and considered to be a true architectural gem and an example of Wright's 'organic architecture' concept. Knowledgeably written and photographically illustrated by Mark Hertzberg (a member of the board of directors of the Frank Lloyd Wright Wisconsin Heritage Tourism Program), "Frank Lloyd Wright's Hardy House" provides a complete descriptive history of this remarkable building (including the use of source material that includes historical correspondence and architectural plans from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation) to provide a detailed (with interior and exterior color photographs, as well as historical photographs and architectural drawings) survey of the one hundred years the Hardy House. Enhanced with the inclusion of a bibliography, "Frank Lloyd Wright's Hardy House" is a seminal work that is an essential contribution to professional and academic library Architectural Studies reference collections. Also very highly recommended for students of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture is Mark Hertzberg's earlier work, "Wright in Racine" (Pomegranate, 2004).
