Description
Book Synopsis
What do Vincent Price, Harrison Ford, Jackie Chan and Uma Thurman all have in common with Frank Lloyd Wright? The movies.
The influence of Frank Lloyd Wright on architecture can't be overstated, and his unique creations have also left a lasting impression on movie audiences. From the Marin County Civic Center's starring role in George Lucas's first feature film to the famous Ennis House appearing in multiple movies, eight of Wright's California buildings have served as dramatic settings for stories about power, wealth and dystopian futures. Inspiring generations of filmmakers, these sites--both public and private--remain some of the most iconic places captured on film.
With behind-the-scenes production facts and a peek into Wright's design process, author Mark Anthony Wilson recounts the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture in the movies.
