America's most famous architect at the height of his powers played an influential though seldom acknowledged role in shaping one of this country's most popular design movements – Mid-Century Modernism. This is the first book of its kind exclusively on the subject of Wright's Mid-Century Modern work with particular emphasis on unseen, small, extremely accessible houses.

Primarily featuring Wrights residential work of the post-War years. The post-War houses followed many directions, demonstrating a fecundity of ideas and forms. This wide variety of shapes – hemicycles, linear Usonians, teepees, honeycombs, gridded skeletons – far outstripped the variety of Wright's previous residential work.

The book will reveal a new dimension to Wright to general audiences interested in architecture, presenting Wright's Usonian variations (Neils House Blair House) and other Usonians (Katherine Jacobs I, Staley House), System Built houses, Usonian Automatics, Prefab Houses, houses of unusual geometries-as well, as the well known masterpieces (Loveness House, Fallingwater, Price Tower, Unity Temple, Guggenheim, Florida Southern College.

The book will also include plans of the Wright's important Mid-Century Modern building types. A style characterized by simplicity, democratic design, and organic shapes, Mid-Century Modern typically has been associated with such figures as Alvar Aalto, Richard Neutra, Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, and Craig Ellwood, among others – however, such a list neglects to mention arguably its most influential and certainly most famous proponent: Frank Lloyd Wright.
