In her new book, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Wisconsin: How America’s Most Famous Architect Found Inspiration in His Home State, Milwaukee-based food, travel and design writer Kristine Hansen provides a comprehensive guide to all of Wright’s designs throughout Wisconsin. The handsome book includes six Madison-area sites — from the First Unitarian Society Meeting House in Shorewood Hills to the Monona Terrace — as well as insider historical information about now-demolished sites. Hansen also interviewed current stewards of Wright’s residential commissions and shares their takes on the architect and his work. Tickets are required to attend in-person, and the event also will be livestreamed via Crowdcast.

About the book: Frank Lloyd Wright was born in 1867 in the rolling hills of Richland Center. His organic architecture remains rooted in Wisconsin's landscape, from affordable-housing prototypes to his summer home and architecture school in Spring Green. This comprehensive guide to Wright's designs (and those of his protégés) that are open to the public--as well as those available for "drive-bys" only--is for the architecture or history fan.

About the author:  Based in Milwaukee, Kristine Hansen is a nationally recognized design and travel author with articles published on ArchitecturalDigest.com as well as in Time, Midwest Living, and Milwaukee Magazine. She's also the author of Wisconsin Cheese Cookbook: Creamy, Cheesy, Sweet and Savory Recipes from the State's Best Creameries.
