Description:
"It was a new look for a new century. Low, ground-hugging houses with refreshingly spacious interiors under sweeping roofs, leading to terraces reaching out to nature, all dressed in the colors of the prairie in autumn and simplified with built-in furniture. A group of idealistic young architects in Chicago, led by Frank Lloyd Wright, had succeeded in their quiet revolt against the fussiness of Victorian houses. Gazing toward the horizon, they saw the prairie as the perfect metaphor for redefining the American home."--BOOK JACKET. "Prairie Style opens the doors into three dozen of the astonishingly new houses, gardens, and entire communities brought about by this revolutionary band. These sheltering Prairie-style houses, captured in Christian Korab's all-new color photographs, inspired generations of homes to come and changed the shape of suburban America."--BOOK JACKET.
