      Ein Leben für die Architektur Frank Lloyd Wrights Architektur beruft sich auf grundlegend Menschliches und lebt von temperamentvoller Zeitgenossenschaft. Diese beiden Pole eines Werks mit nachhaltiger Wirkung stellt Robert McCarter in den Zusammenhang eines turbulenten Lebens und eines leidenschaftlichen Engagements für anspruchsvolle Architektur, für die Entwicklung der amerikanischen Demokratie und ein modernes Leben im Einklang mit der Natur. Wrights Gedankenwelt, seine architektonische Ethik, manifestiert in Bauten der zweiten Hälfte des 19. und der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts, teilt sich nach wie vor mit – und beeinflusst die Architektur bis heute.
