Lloyd Wright

Born 1867 Frank Lloyd Wright is one of the first architects who found a new style based on interpretation of planes and abreast masses. He was influenced by many aspects of his life, firstly, when Wright’s parents split up he had an obsession with showing an ideal family living space. His early influences came mainly from working at his uncle’s farm and the “froebel blocks” (Curtis since 1900, page 75) his mother brought him, which he used to create various geometric shapes and patterns. Secondly, working for Louis Sullivan, Wright gained his own interoperation of organic architecture, which was based around dwelling spaces for families. Wrights first commission was Winslow house,1893 which he designed, in inspiration with Shingle style, and influenced by Silsbee, and is a traditional American house which expresses freedom and family life. Winslow house has overhanging roofs with deep eaves and openly planned with heath at the core to show spaces around it. In the stable of this house Wright and Mr Winslow printed and published “William Channing Gannett’s House Beautiful” (Curtis since 1900, page 77), which talks about the house itself and Wright’s ideas and designs. As Wright’s reputation increased so did the size of his houses, over 100 commissions in fifteen years Wright shows a sense and sympathy with nature, the increase of commissions in…

Since I was about six years old, I’ve had an interest in architecture and interior design. After going to see a Kandinsky exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, I fell in love with the strange shape of the building rather than the ones in the modern artist’s paintings. A few years later, I went to Fallingwater and I bought myself Frank Lloyd Wright’s biography. For Christmas that year, I received the Lego kits for Fallingwater and the Guggenheim. I have been hooked on how modern Frank…
