Welcome to my new series on architecture books. I'm not sure how long this series will last because I'm only planning on reading my biography book called Up Close: Frank Lloyd Wright by Jan Adkins. The series will consist of my favorite sections of the book. By me doing this it will also show you more about Frank Lloyd Wright and his amazing work!
