Description
The Price Tower Drawings - Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright Published by Wilkerson & Hughes, LLC 17 Drawings plus covers Wire Bound Cover Stock Card covers with 24 lb Cream pages 8.5"wide x 11"high Price Tower is the only skyscraper designed by Frank Lloyd Wright that was actually built. Today it is a multi-use building with a hotel, restaurant, Arts Center Museum, and gift shop much like it's intended use when it was built for Harold Price and Company. Price Tower is a designated National Historic Landmark Building. This book is entirely composed of measured drawings conducted for the American Historical Building Survey. These drawings were recently done by Carissa Brown with the assistance of Ambler Architects. The HABS originated during the Great Depression. It was a WPA project started to employ starving Architects and draftsmen to document the greatest historic buildings of America. The program is ongoing today often using Architectural College teams from various Universities. The pages contain high resolution black line drawings on Cream paper. Our publishing company developed a unique computer program to restore the line weight and density to make the original drawings look exceptionally dark after the reduction process from large drawing sheets to book size pages.
