Woodward, Suburban House, 1873 «Il progetto di questa casa fu fatto allo scopo di dare ad ogni stanza un'esposizione soleggiata a sud; e su dieci stanze nove godono almeno una vista a sud-est. Il piano principale è disposto in modo che l'atrio spazioso, con la scala in curva, presenta dall'ingresso una visuale attraente. Il camino è il centro della casa e aperture con porte scorrevoli mettono a ciascuna delle stanze principali; cosicchè all'occasione atrio, salotto, biblioteca e sala da pranzo possono essere riunite; mentre la forma ottagona di queste stanze aggiunge molto alla loro bellezza». ! ! The design of this house was done in order to give each room a sunny south, and nine out of ten rooms have at least one view to the south-east. The main floor is arranged so that the spacious foyer with curved staircase, entrance presents a visual appealing. The fireplace is the center of the house with sliding doors and openings bring to each of the main rooms, so that on occasion entrance hall, lounge, library and dining room can be combined, while the octagonal shape of these rooms adds much to their beauty [George E.

  • Informe Frank Lloyd Wright
    Nombre :Daniel Oswaldo Rodriguez Catedratico: Arq. A.Vaquero Clase: Historia Arq. 4 Cuenta: 1101097 Fecha: Junio/11/12 Frank Lloyd Wright Frank Lloyd Wright (Richland Center, Wisconsin, 8 de junio de 1867 - Phoenix, Arizona, 9 de abril de 1959), arquitecto estadounidense, fue uno de los principales maestros de la arquitectura del siglo XX conocido por la arquitectura orgánica y funcional de sus diseños. • Biografía Tras abandonar su carrera de ingeniería en Wisconsin al fallecer su padre, Wright se va a Chicago, donde la oficina de los arquitectos Adler y Sullivan le contrataron para trabajar con Sullivan durante 6 años como delineante jefe, hasta que en 1893, abandona por un altercado que tuvo con él y abrió su propio estudio de arquitectura. En estos años diseñó la Casa Winslow, en River Forest, Illinois, la primera de la famosa serie de viviendas de pradera. Se trata de casas unifamiliares, fuertemente integradas en su entorno. Las cubiertas sobresalen considerablemente de las fachadas y las ventanas forman una secuencia continua horizontal . El núcleo central de las viviendas lo constituye una gran chimenea, alrededor de la cual se disponen las estancias. Otras casas diseñadas en este estilo fueron, por ejemplo, la de Willitts, en Highland Park, Illinois, y la D. Martin, en Buffalo, Nueva York. Wright creó un nuevo concepto respecto a los espacios interiores de los edificios, que aplicó en sus casas de pradera, pero también en sus demás obras. Wright rechaza el criterio existente hasta entonces de los espacios interiores como estancias cerradas y aisladas de las demás, y diseña espacios en los que cada habitación o sala se abre a las demás, con lo que consigue una gran transparencia visual, una profusión de luz y una sensación de amplitud y abertura.

Frank Lloyd Wright From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Frank Lloyd Wright (born Frank Lincoln Wright, June 8, 1867 – April 9, Frank Lloyd Wright 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer and educator, who designed more than 1000 structures and completed 532 works. Wright believed in designing structures which were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was best exemplified by his design for Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture".[1] Wright was a leader of the Prairie School movement of architecture and developed the concept of the Usonian home, his unique vision for urban planning in the United States. His work includes original and innovative examples of many different building types, including offices, churches, schools, Born Frank Lincoln Wright skyscrapers, hotels, and museums. Wright June 8, 1867 also designed many of the interior Richland Center, Wisconsin elements of his buildings, such as the furniture and stained glass. Wright Died April 9, 1959 (aged 91) authored 20 books and many articles and Phoenix, Arizona was a popular lecturer in the United Nationality American States and in Europe. His colorful Alma mater University of Wisconsin- personal life often made headlines, most Madison notably for the 1914 fire and murders at his Taliesin studio.

  • Communities by Design in THIS ISSUE
    EDUCATION | ADVOCACY | PRESERVATION THE MAGAZINE OF THE FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT BUILDING CONSERVANCY THE MAGAZINE OF FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT BUILDING CONSERVANCY FALL 2016 / VOLUME 7 ISSUE 2 FALL IN THIS ISSUE Communities by Design Guest Editor: Jane King Hession editor’s MESSAGE communities by design Communities can take many forms and mean different things to different people. Vary though they may, all communities are fundamentally alike in that they are all composed of individuals who, col- lectively, share common interests, characteristics or geography. The whole of a community comprises its parts. Frank Lloyd Wright was no stranger to this concept: for decades he lived and worked at the center of the Taliesin Fellowship, a community of his own creation. However, as the essays in this issue make clear, Wright also explored the idea of community—at multiple scales—in his architecture and planning. In his article on the politics of community, Robert Wojtowicz considers the philosophical divide between Wright and his longtime friend (and sometime foe), cultural critic Lewis Mumford, on the subject. As Wojtowicz describes, the two men often argued their polar positions on the pages of the country’s leading publications. The roots of one of Wright’s best known communities, Usonia in Pleasantville, New York, are revisited by an original owner in the community, Roland Reisley. In ad- ABOUT THE EDITOR dition to taking a backward glance at its origins, Reisley also reveals the impact of Wright’s vision on successive generations of residents. Neil Levine describes Wright’s application of “the power of ge- ometry” to create community at the scale of the individual house and the residential block.
