The Prairie School by H. Allen Brooks
Frank Lloyd Wright and His Midwest Contemporaries
This insightful book delves into the architectural movement known as the Prairie School, which emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the American Midwest. It explores the innovative design principles that characterized this style, emphasizing horizontal lines, flat or hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves, and an integration with the surrounding landscape. The book highlights the contributions of key architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright, and examines how their work reflected a uniquely American architectural identity that sought harmony between the built environment and the natural world.
