by David Larkin (Editor), Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer
this stunning survey of 38 of his most influential buildings reveals how he created new patterns of living through rooms that open into one another and walls that reach out to engulf gardens and plantings. The pioneer of organic architecture, Wright was also an innovative engineer. The author, Pfeiffer, is editor of Wright's Collected Writings and author of many books about him. Nearly all of the buildings were newly photographed for this book, which features 275 color plates, including Wright's beautiful working drawings and plans.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian Houses: The Case for Organic Architecture by
John Sergeant
Sergeant's book is a good place to start in getting an impression of the quality of Usonian homes, and how they came to shape America's suburban lifestyle. Wright was most proud of his Usonian Homes. He wanted these homes to be affordable, clean, efficient dwellings that reflected his streamlined view of America. He abhorred the wasteful society America had become, and envisioned a "Broadacre City" that would satisfy Americans' insatiable appetite for detached homes, without destroying the landscape in the process. He incorporated many passive solar features into these homes, relied on natural materials, and as always created an open plan that characterized the democratic nature of society.
