by Frank Lloyd Wright. Just finished it. Not in print any longer. This well-used copy from our library still has the manual checkout sleeve from 1965! At first I thought he was just a zealot, self-identified. But he really did change the house as we Americans (and Europeans) know it...too much to capture here, but you can thank him for "open" floorplans and natural light, along with the deletion of the basement and attic. From Okakura Kakuzo's "The Book of Tea": "The reality of a room was to be found in the space enclosed by the roof and walls, not in the roof and walls themselves."
