Wright Chat

I created the site. The majority of the scans are from the Taschen volumes with some other books I had at the time -- which I hand-scanned -- and other images I acquired online. There are far more images in the Monographs, but I do not own them.

Visions of Wright is a mixed blessing at best, no ? There are dozens of designs that I daresay none of us had ever laid eyes on, before the Taschen volumes were published -- though many of the images could be found in black-and-white, a generation earlier, in the Monographs. But most are apparently...

Found out that they have/had many auctions of Wright's unbuilt projects that include perspectives and plans -- site, elevations, details, etc. Just as two examples: https://fineart.ha.com/itm/prints-and-works-on-paper/frank-lloyd-wright-american-1867-1959-drawings-of-the-dr-andamp-mrs-paul-v-palmer-...

Not a film, but:

The Gillin house appears in a Walker, Texas Ranger episode -- though, it's very slight.

Here's an interesting thing I happened upon from a Taliesin apprentice's experience working for Wright.

Shame we'll never see the plans to the Boulder project. Hmmm ... Will have to conduct a search, as I have a plan, here, somewhere. Haven't looked at or studied it in ages, but I believe a study is located on the second floor, behind the roof "cutout" Well, if you manage to find it, please post it. ...

The TV show Sightings had an episode titled Ghost Report which has parts filmed in the Ennis house.

Iirc, the movie Die Hard has a model of the Butterfly Bridge in it.
