Reviews

'Don Johnson is an authority on Frank Lloyd Wright. He is also an experienced architectural historian who takes nothing for granted, and tenaciously goes back to basics - the original documents, the buildings themselves, and their historical context - when investigating tendentious historical claims. This challenging study of Wright's five concrete block houses deals with what was perhaps a minor phase in Wright's prodigious output, but Johnson's highly original conclusions have very wide implications for our understanding of architectural mythology, the regional architecture of the south-west, and the character and reputation of Frank Lloyd Wright himself.'Gilbert Herbert, Technion: Israel Institute of Technology, Israel
