autobiography on nature
Answers
Answer:
hope you have a great day
WE have had many autobiographies by successful architects memorable for size of practice rather than principle, and many outpourings of principle from gospellers (Lethaby and le Corbusier stand out) whose actual achievement in building was, or is, alas, pathetically thin-but Frank Lloyd Wright's autobiography is the record of idea and achievement together, both immense in scale and both enriched and confirmed by the continuous experience of half a century. Wright can add to the ideology and the fact of his architecture a personal biography as well charged with romance and passion, and success and failure, in the ordinary terms of human life as any that might be written to record these things alone: the bitterness of his rejection by his colleagues in America, the romances, the vivid portraiture of his friends and enemies, the tragic destruction, twice, of his house by fire and Wright's dogged building of it for the third time. Wright's private life winds as a fascinating and essential thread through the book: it is, however, the parts on Wright's theory and practice that make the book more than just worth reading and put it among the two or three most important books on architecture written within living memory.
