Wright Chat

The controversy over whether or not to rebuild the Larkin reminds me of a similar debate that occurred 30 years ago in Spain regarding the Barcelona Pavilion by Mies Van der Rohe: http://miesbcn.com/totes-les-activitats/30years/ Finally it was rebuilt and is now one of the largest architectural attr...

In the "render test" images that I have already sent there are small problems which remain unresolved, I send you the images so you can see how the texture of the sandstone is evolving, I have also changed the brick mortar, but be aware that this images require further work to be completed. Patrick....

haha, good question ... I will convey this matter to the author of the model:

Or simply I erase it.

SDR: I have a new car, a luxurious Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, in this case the money is not a problem



It started production in 1906 coinciding therefore with the construction of the Larkin building,

I am back I greatly appreciate the pedagogical work carried out in this chat, your work is an inspiration for me and without the existence of this chat maybe I would have never dared to perform the complex task of recreating a building of the importance of the Larkin Administration (and those that w...

A minor detail: In the pipe organ, there is a triptych. Does anyone know what picture was? https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8773/29882890475_12939c0c89_d.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8283/30003112521_f6abf9701c_o_d.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5061/30003111501_02a2806676_o_d.jpg [/img] Incide...

Patrick, thanks for the clarification, so I can forget the whole idea of the tinted concrete in my images. SDR, Must I introduce myself? I'm an architect, I´m Spanish (excuse me for any spelling mistakes) I have a wife, two daughters and a hamster and I am a great admirer of FLLW work (like everyon...

interesting. You would agree with the following scheme ? https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8417/29404428144_8118f46e3a_c.jpg The result will be something like this: https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5586/29998230366_c76f06d3a6_c.jpg Again, this is only a test, I still have to work with the materials but tha...

I always assumed that the final appearance of the red sandstone was this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/143771393@N04/29909173872/in/album-72157674462092306/ (Not very red really) Is this a later addition? This other picture shows what look like two different types of stone: https://www.flickr.com/p...

This is only a test, but what do you think?

Too subtle? I do not want to go too far

PAT: This is extremely interesting. Can I see pictures of those "Chestnut Ridge White Bricks"? It would help me a lot to understand the nature of the material. Is there anything left of the "magnesite floors"? In this picture: https://www.flickr.com/photos/143771393@N04/29589268980/sizes/z/ I had to...

PAT: that's a good point!, photos from that pier are usually so poor that the color of the stone is not obvious. SDR: About the scale of the fence, you are right! According to this drawing: http://www.ad.ntust.edu.tw/grad/think/93modernwork/modern%20arch/4/B9113007/Larkin%20Building/My%20Webs/images...
