"Unique in the field of Wright studies and architecture."—Robert
McCarter, author of Frank Lloyd Wright
"The space within the building is the reality of that building." So
says Frank Lloyd Wright in "The Destruction of the Box," an address
in which he recalls for his audience the origins of his break with
previous architectural thought. According to Satler, Wright's
approach, "organic architecture," reveals space as a lived in and
living entity, one that achieves its full meaning only when it
becomes inscribed with the actual practices of those who inhabit
it.
This sociological analysis of Wright's architecture examines the
interaction between people and the spaces they create. Satler shows
how Wright explored a new architectural dimension, the space in
which we live.
