Further Reading. Carla Lind worked to preserve Wright's building for more tan two decades. She directed the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio and the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy as well as the restoration of Wright's May house in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867-April 9, 1959) was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1, 000 structures over a creative period of 70 years. Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing architects worldwide through his works and hundreds of apprentices in his Taliesin Fellowship. Wright believed in designing in harmony with humanity and the environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was exemplified in Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." The contents include Introduction, Wright's Design Associates, Features, Built-in Furniture, Freestanding Furniture, Bedroom Furniture, Specialty Pieces, Commercial Design, Lighting, Textiles, Wooden Panels, Relief Panels, Metalwork, Tableware, Artwork, Sculpture, Murals and Mosaics. From built-in furniture to lighting, textiles, tableware, and mosaics, this book introduces readers to the wealth of interior objects that bear the Wright imprint. Not afterthoughts, but parts of the architectural whole, Wright's furnishings and decorative pieces created a sense of repose--the key in his mind, to a proper home. As Wright worked to define his vision for American architecture and design, the currents of Modernism coursed at home and abroad. Architects and designers in Europe, Great Britain and America integrated exterior and interior design principles to achieve a level of visual unity never seen before. From paintings and prints to light fixtures and furniture, the Modern style was pervasive, synthesizing every aspect of design as a Gesamtkunstwerk, a "total work of art." Wright's ideology, like that of his international contemporaries, focused on the complete integration of the house site and structure, interior and exterior, furniture, ornament and architecture, every element of the design was connected. In the Wasmuth Portfolio (Berlin, 1910), Wright described his goal as such: "To thus make of a dwelling place a complete work of art...this is the modern American opportunity." Bold, innovative, and architectural, the furnishings and decorative arts of Wright's Chicago years were conceived as integral elements of his Prairie interiors, designed in harmony with each specific commission. Incorporating furniture, lighting, and decorative arts into the structure of his buildings enabled Wright to achieve a harmonious and unified interior. Wright's interiors were further enriched by his innovative use of lighting. Wall sconces of leaded glass, oak, and bronze incorporated materials and motifs that echo those of the interiors of his buildings. Wright embraced the use of electricity early in his career, using incandescent lighting to complement natural light. Further decorative embellishments-murals, sculptures, and leaded glass-were also integrated into the interior design scheme of the buildings.
