    1867年6月8日，弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特出生在美国威斯康辛州的乡村小镇里奇兰中心。是美国建筑师、室内设计师、作家、教育家。赖特是20世纪上半叶最有影响的建筑师之一，设计了超过1000个建筑设计、其中完成了约500栋建筑。他是美国“草原式住宅”的缔造者。他承袭了北美地方传统，善于运用天然的材料，进行建筑创作。他提出了新的建筑空间概念，这是对摩登建筑的最大贡献。他认为，空间可以内外贯穿，运用区域和隔断划分，巧妙地变化天花和地坪的标高，会有不同的空间感受。一个单一的空间可以有多种功能，不用封闭的办法去限定空间，而是运用空间的相互关系组织空间。1920年以后，赖特开始尝试设计直角以外的其他形体的建筑，这些形式最初出现时遭到嘲笑，但20世纪30年代以后却成为摩登的特征。
    在赖特超过70年的建筑师生涯（1887年－1959年）中，设计了一系列各式建筑，包括办公室、教堂、摩天大楼、旅馆和博物馆，另外还包含许多室内物品的设计，如家俱、花窗玻璃。 赖特一生著作二十本书与许多文章，并且是一位受欢迎的讲者。 生前就已经广为人知的赖特，在1991年被美国建筑师学会称之为“最伟大的美国建筑师”。

内容简介：
　　 Moch has been written about Frank Lloyd Wright the architect who has  Perhaps  eXerted  the greatest influence on twentieth-century design. In a  volume that continues to resonate more than sixty-five years after its initial publication, Frank Lloyd Wright: An Autobiography contains the master architect's own account of his work, his philosophy, and his personal life.
　　The first edition was published in 1932. Having secluded himself away in a Minnesota cabin during what he referred to as a "bad time" in his life, Wright focused his energies in order to reflect and set down his life experiences. The book sold out immediately. After several additional printings, it was revised and enlarged into this now classic edition, first published in 1943.
　　The volume is divided into five sections devoted to family, fellowship, work, freedom, and form. In his distinctive prose style, Wright recalls his childhood, his apprenticeship (the decisive association with Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan), his self-described stormy personal life, his travels, and the circumstances surrounding some of his greatest architectural achievements--including the Prairie and Usonian Houses, the various incarnations of Taliesin, the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, and the famous Hollyhock House.
　　 Written with wit and charm, Frank Lloyd Wright: An Autobiography is a revealing self-portrait of a monumental figure.








作者简介：
　　Wright is widely considered the greatest American architect and certainly one of the most influential. Throughout a career of nearly 70 years, he produced masterpiece after masterpiece, each different and boldly new and yet each with the unmistakable touch of Wright's genius in the treatment of material, the detailing, and the overall concept. Born in Wisconsin of Welsh ancestry, Wright studied civil engineering at the University of Wisconsin and began his career in Chicago as chief assistant to Louis Henry Sullivan, who influenced his early thinking on the American architect as harbinger of democracy and on the organic nature of the true architecture. Out of these ideas, Wright developed the so-called prairie house, of which the Robie House in Chicago and the Avery Coonley House in Riverdale, Illinois, are outstanding examples. In the "prairie-style," Wright used terraces and porches to allow the inside to flow easily outside. Movement within such houses is also open and free-floating from room to room and from layer to layer. Public buildings followed: the Larkin Administration Building in Buffalo (destroyed) and the Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois, the former probably the most original and seminal office building up to that time (1905). The Midway Gardens in Chicago and the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo (both gone) came next, winning Wright still greater acclaim. Personal tragedy, misunderstanding, and neglect dogged Wright's middle years, but he prevailed, and in his later life gathered enormous success and fame. The masterworks of his mature years are the Johnson Wax Building in Racine, Wisconsin, and Fallingwater, Bear Run, Pennsylvania---with its bold cantilevered balconies over a running stream, probably the most admired and pictured private house in American architecture; then, toward the end of his life, the spiral design of the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Wright's own houses, to which he joined architectural studios, are also noteworthy: Taliesin West was a true Shangri-la in the Arizona desert, to which he turned in order to escape the severe winters in Wisconsin, where he had built his extraordinary Taliesin East. Wright was a prolific and highly outspoken writer, ever polemical, ever ready to propagate his ideas and himself. All of his books reflect a passionate dedication to his beliefs---in organic architecture, democracy, and creativity.
