Unable to find patrons  his imagination led to visionary  often splendid  architectural conceptions that laid the groundwork for the revolutionary architecture he would build in the decades to follow. During this period he designed almost fifty projects  of which only a few were realized  but those few are seen today as among his most important creations. They include the majestic Imperial Hotel in Tokyo  four exquisite textured concrete block houses in Los Angeles  renovations and additions to his beloved home  Taliesin  in Wisconsin  the Octillo Desert Camp in Chandler  Arizona  and his work as design consultant for the lavish Arizona Biltmore Hotel and Cottages in the desert in Phoenix. Rare and unseen photos as well as little-known drawings from this period are on lavish display in this important work on the master architect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67964092514357,"sku":"ByrdShop_0847831744","price":48.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780847831746.jpg?v=1794545898","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/frank-lloyd-wright-the-heroic-years-19201932-9780847831746","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
