This is an original 1938 “Architecture and Modern Life” book by Baker Brownell and Frank Lloyd Wright. Published in 1937, this is the Third (3rd Edition) printed in 1938. Not a reproduction or digital copy. Approximately 440 cloth hard cover bound pages. Measures approximately 7″ x 9″. Inside pages crisp and bright, no missing or torn or damaged pages. Good spine with solid gilt lettering. Covers in very good conditions, no stains or edge wear. This is one of Wright’s more philosophical mid-career works. It’s a dialogue/essay format where Wright articulates how “organic architecture” must shape-and be shaped by-modern democratic life, technology, housing, and society. Co-author Brownell was a philosopher and journalist provides the broader cultural frame, making it a thoughtful critique of industrialization, speculation, and urban chaos. Or Wright scholars studying his social/ethical views on building, this is one of the more difficult books to find.
