Description: "In Wright Studies Volume Two: Fallingwater and Pittsburgh, contributors Kathryn Smith, Neil Levine, and Richard Cleary concentrate on two themes: Smith focuses on Wright's interest in the imagery of water in architecture while Levine and Cleary look at Wright's relationship with Edgar Kaufmann, the department store magnate, and analyze the results - aesthetic and otherwise - of that relationship.

All three deal with Fallingwater, built for Kaufmann in the 1930s, and other projects planned for Pittsburgh, which included a planetarium, a civic center, a parking garage, and an apartment house."--BOOK JACKET.
