The building I have chosen to focus on is in the Ward Willits House by Frank Lloyd Wright. I have chosen this building because I am really interested in learning the techniques that Frank Lloyd Wright used for this building. Like the structure, function, and form which this three main points will tie up with the historical and social context of the house. Since Wright is known, for not having a signature style, as most architects and designers. For, it is seen that his inspiration comes from the place where he is going to be building the house. Therefore, it is noticeable that his motivation, is on the environment and climate, for this will help him know what materials he needs to work with, in order to know how to build the perfect house in

The Ward Willits House was created as a coherent combination of interconnected elements, rendering with the principles, leaded glass, furnishing, plan, structure, and interior and exterior spaces ("Frank Lloyd Wright Trust."). Its entrance is condensed to a slot of space, perpendicular to the drive, formed by a break and displacement in the wall plane underneath the lower eaves roof (Levine, 33). The central pavilion is able to preserve its perfect, formal honesty since, one slides between two layers of space in the angle between the wings (Levine, 33). Motion within the house is intent by another system of screens, directing off the central fireplace and pointing the view outward along the constant lines of the wood-strip moldings and beneath the protective overhanging of the eaves (Levine, 33). Its interior spaces overlay one another along the pin wheeling pattern of the prominent fireplace screens (Levine, 33). The volume interpretations happening in this house are considered as a direct interaction of inside and outside, as the space of the living room seeps into moderately enclosed porches below the non-stopping lower roof (Levine, 33). By the porches being half inside and half outside, makes the house have an …show more content…
Its protected interior extends its province into the communal space of the neighborhood, creating a kind of impression or secure envelope of shared space around the home’s privacy (Levine, 33). This house is the focus of a field of energy, which it’s the stimulated space of family life (Levine, 33). Going around an internal core, the incongruent and highly defined parts join into the conception of community planning that Wright envisioned in his Quadruple Block Plan (Levine, 33). Therefore, the individual element, weather the family as a whole or parted members, convert the Multifocal point to a new joint order wherein space functions as the rendering of distinctions and the connector of disparities (Levine, 33). As Wright believed that “the architect is a molder of men, whether or not he consciously assumes the responsibility.” ("Wright on the Web."). The private incorporates the public as the individual incorporates the group in an appearance of fundamental order in which the abstract gridded lines of the house appear totally congruent with abstract landscape of the characteristically man-made, suburban plat of the Midwest (Levine, 33). Accordingly, it all comes back to the structure, function, and form of the house, being that these three main components interlocking with
