Taal: NL
Categorie: documentaire

Frank Lloyd Wright is America's greatest-ever architect. In a career spanning seven decades, he built over five hundred buildings, and changed the face of modern architecture. Fallingwater, the house over the waterfall, has been called the greatest house of the twentieth century. The spiralling Guggenheim museum in New York reinvented the art museum. But what is the underlying philosophy that links all Wright's buildings, and where did it come from? Leading Welsh architect Jonathan Adams sets off across America to explore Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpieces for himself. Along the way, he uncovers the story of the man behind them, and his radical Welsh roots.
