Shows the various styles of houses Wright designed and built, including the furnishings and windows. He believed in designing the entire house, not just the floor plan, and encouraged his customers to leave personal belongings out-of-sight so that his designs would remain pure and uncluttered when viewed.

Former Wright apprentice Hoppen shows how problems and disasters in Wright's personal life were followed by periods of astonishing creativity in which he reinvented his art. Illustrations include photos, floorplans, a detailed diagram of Wright's seven ages, and examples of Celtic and Southwest Native American forms which inspired Wright's work.
