Item Details
Description
[ARCHITECTURE]. [WRIGHT, Frank Lloyd (1867-1959)]. 1906 opening day souvenir of Larkin Co. Administration Building, Buffalo, New York, designed by Wright. Oblong 12mo (140 x 216 mm). Original embossed wrappers with a vignette of the building designed by Wright, printed on integral leaf (damp spotting, sunned). Known for its revolutionary innovations, Wright noted that after the building’s completion that, “It is interesting that [he], an architect supposed to be concerned with the aesthetic sense of the building, should have invented the hung wall for the w.c. (easier to clean under), and adopted many other innovations like the glass door, steel furniture, air-conditioning and radiant or ‘gravity heat’. Nearly every technological innovation used today was suggested in the Larkin Building in 1904“ (Kaufmann, Edgar, ed. An American Architecture, pp. 137–138). The building was demolished in 1950. -- [With:] The Architectural Forum. Frank Lloyd Wright. January 1948. 4to. Numerous foldout illustrations. Lacking wrappers. Bound with the January 1951 issue also featuring Wright.
