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 mentoring hundreds of apprentices in his Taliesin Fellowship. Wright believed in designing in harmony with humanity and the environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. Wright was a pioneer of what came to be called the Prairie School movement of architecture and also developed the concept of the Usonian home in Broadacre City, his vision for urban planning in the United States. He also designed original and innovative offices, churches, schools, skyscrapers, hotels, museums, and other commercial projects. Wright-designed interior elements (including leaded glass windows, floors, furniture and even tableware) were integrated into these structures. He wrote several books and numerous articles and was a popular lecturer in the United States and in Europe. Baker Brownell (1887 – 1965) was an American philosopher. Brownell was born in St. Charles, Illinois, the fifth of six children of Eugene A. And Esther Burr Baker Brownell. He grew up in St. Charles, where he graduated from St. Among his trips were a tour of the Galapagos Islands and an expedition to Cocos Island as the guest of his friend Commander E. The Chairman of the Zenith Corporation; a six-month sojourn in the interior of Guatemala ; a summer in Tahiti ; a trip to Isle Royale, Michigan, as a member of the Isle Royale Archeological Expedition; and various cruises in the Caribbean. With Frank Lloyd Wright in 1937, he wrote Architecture and Modern Life ; and in 1939 he wrote Art in Action, explaining his views about the humanities. With RARE intact dust jacket!
