Foreword by Eric Lloyd Wright
Photographs by Thomas R. Schiff
Tom Schiff’s photographs are extensions in space of the character of the building.
They also unfold details and forms not normally found in standard photographs.
I am continually discovering new elements in the building I had not noticed before.
—Eric Lloyd Wright, Architect and Grandson of Frank Lloyd Wright
Eric Lloyd Wright writes the foreword to this large-format work of 140 full-color panoramic photographs that exhibits the private and public buildings of the famous architect, designer, writer, and teacher in a provocative and expansive way. With the panoramic image, three dimensions spread to envelope one wide-reaching perspective. Interiors—floors, ceilings, windows and walls—as well as exterior building, sky, land, and water fill the horizontal space with more of Wright’s detail and vision than ever before experienced.
Frank Lloyd Wright scholars Cara Armstrong, Scott W. Perkins, Margo Stipe, and Marta Wojcik each contribute an essay on the four elements—earth, air, fire and water—in nature that greatly influenced Frank Lloyd Wright’s philosophy, work and life.
Wright Panorama is a continual discovery: A new way of viewing and a new way of appreciating the work of iconic American architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
