Frank Lloyd Wright



For those of you in the second year of the program, you already know this, and for those of year in the first year: you will hear the instructors talk about Frank Lloyd Wright A LOT. He is the Architect about whose work more books have been published than any other in history. He was very prolific, worked for a very long time and was as dedicated and devoted to Architecture as anyone could be.

If you'd like to find out more, here is the official FLW site. For those of you more inclined to start with Wikipedia, here you go.

The Architecture Club visited three of his residential projects on our trip to Washington DC and Pennsylvania last May. There are photos of the trip in the Architecture Club folder on the server at school. But if you are at home, here are my pics of Fallingwater, the Pope-Leighey house, and Kentuck Knob (we weren't allowed to take pics inside this one). Here is the official Fallingwater website.

Here is a video that is from the Unity Temple's website.
And here is a basic Google image search on FLW.
