Frank Lloyd Wright’s Design Process

Frank Lloyd Wright's Design Process was heavily influenced by Louis Henry Sullivan, his "Lieber Meister", and especially his book "A System of Architectural Ornament" from 1924. Sullivan's romantic notions of nature and geometry deeply influenced Wright and his design process.

The Price Tower operates an inn. I stayed one night there. I was struck by the way light and shadow interacted within the space. Every surface participated in it visually. Being in one of these rooms, living in it for even so short a time, is a subtle but immensely profound experience. It's one of being _inside_ a sculpture.

thank you so much for sharing thoughts on Franl L Right. As a young architecture student 0 years back I have always been attracted by his designs and the concepts behind them. your contribution is appreciated.

Franky is one PARAMETRIC ARCHITECT that used the modular construction algorithm without knowing it. He devised his own pipelining process in HIS DRAWINGS. This dude his one of the pioneers on establishing a database building approach in his design process.

In the end Architecture IS THIS. Architecture is a design of a database that serves our living and our logics. All the production of Franky is an extraordinary exploration of modular architecture using parametric design. You can see THIS in Le Corbusier too.

The future IS the past. And the PAST is the future such as the architecture of the primitive future established by Sou Fujimoto. Frank Lloyd right UNDERSTOOD this quite well.

Fran Lloyd Wrights work are all connected together. It just flows inside and outside. Pleasing to the eyes.

Meanwhile.. Gaudi was using the logic of our physical reality to design, Fuller had solutions for problems 100 years ahead of his time and Hadid used simple projection to change how we perceive space, altogether. Those who know, know. There is no master with all the answers.

As a novice, I would appreciate understanding nesting, spaces penetrating each other (like breaking the box?), and lastly extension of spaces. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks!

as an architect all I can say is keep up the good work help educated the world thru social media this is way far better than those korean k pops people showing off theirr luxury bags watches mansions cars perfumes use that had only thought the immidiate world how to be vain and self absorbed and envious and resentful of their lives whom they dem less when they watch videos like those Yeah but if u have to argue about but some people just wanted to be entertain though? YES! am saying this subjectively because the objective reality tends be pretty sad people now a days care more for what makes them anxious and unhappy! again thanks to Robert Architecture kudos in promoting educational and relevant matters that must matter !

What is the difference between "addition" and "nesting"?

Thank you so much for this video. My father incorporated many of Frank Lloyd’s principles in the very fine home he built for the family in 1958 at the Biltmore’s neighborhood. For this reason, I always wanted to continue improving in those design and to create my own…however I opted for medicine the last two years of HS and this has allowed me now to propose a merge between Architecture and the principles of human physiology …to build structures capable of pumping up water for virtually free …like the ósmosis and difusión of the Biological realm…to conceive a type of sustainable architecture only possible in the imagination before. Freedom everywhere!…The Vertical water displacement or hydroelectric VW-D will help building more “water fall houses” at lower maintenance cost with improved integration to natural environment.I am starting the building of a vertical water displacement station by using a pendulum wheel now powered by real horses and the second generation of this water technology will only use capillarity, leverage and transferring water as osmosis to gain height. As poetical and “crazy” as it sounds, the sky is the limit.

I enjoyed this. Also, not come across anyone talking about architecture the way you do.. you seem to talk about design from a holistic POV. Makes architecture truly sound divine... rather, "Esoteric" as you say.

Thanks for putting this together ⚡

this was so interesting, the illustrations were top notch!

wow this is great i had no idea about sullivan's influence on FLW in terms of the geometric stuff. One thing that struck me about how wright uses those fundamental concepts of nesting, extrension, penetration; is that it makes his designs look almost fractal like. This is another way i think FLW manages to bridge the gap of inorganic forms like squares with their 90 degree angles with the organic forms of nature that are winding and twisting, repeating and fractal like. On another note, you mentioned that FLW often plays with that pinwheel technique, rotating a geometric form around a center. I wonder if this was influenced at all by the design of one of his very first works, the romeo and juliet windmill that he made for his aunts' boarding school, the Hillside Home School. but maybe that's a strech tho

you should disable autofocus from your camera for future videos

[absolutegenerique]

great video, one tipp-go in settins of camera and put focus to manual.

[stevemiller]

Dynamic symmetry ---- that's a new one. I will look it up.

[dalehodges]

This is a life affirming thing for me ... much of my art "does" this (ish) :) Thanks for all !

[MossyMozart]

I have had the good fortune to visit the Guggenheim, Unity Temple, a number of his private residences in the Chicago area, Falling Water, Johnson Wax building, Taliesin East & West, the Taliesin Fellowship, and a number of TF designs with my fellow architecture student-friend. It got so we could identify a TF building from a mile away!

Nice video to get me into the mood right before my post-grad studies start. Thank you

This is an excellent presentation 👍🏼. I am very glad to have found it!

Best video on Frank Lloyd Wright ever!
