The Buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright at Florida Southern College (Images of America)

My son is studying to be an architect. He is a big fan of Frank Lloyd Wright. He has really enjoyed this book.

This book has many interesting facts and great written content. It also features many photos of construction that I've never seen before (and I am a FLW fan so I've seen many). My only complaint is that I wish the book was larger - the photos could have been much better in a larger format. I understand that the smaller format allowed for a reduced price point, but for someone like me, I prefer larger format so I can really examine the imagery.

The author knows a lot about the campus and the pictures are amazing but there is no sense of FLW's plan or philosophy. There is a hard to see hand drawing of the positions of the buildings but this book does not give a good idea of how these buildings relate to each other. Lots of small details but no feeling for the whole. It sounds like the building materials used did not hold up well to the Florida conditions so a lot of the details are gone.I would have liked more information on the builders both the students and FLW's people. Not a lot of text, mostly pictures that are a little hard to place in relation to the buildings.
