Wright Chat

SDR don't give TLC another idea lol then again The Animal Channel could use that one

This is just about as interesting as I have seen.

This is why we should make architects DRAW and not use CAD.... Since the 70's Architecture has turned into an abomination, there are a few good designs though I admit, but it coincides when CAD was starting to roll so the coincidence can't be ruled out. Cad seems so rigid still and adding curves sti...

I'd totally buy these. I love the playfulness of the color and geometry
and the multipurpose of the trays.

Thanks for linking Peter.

The Sowden house also showed on Ghost Hunters,with some evidence as to a haunt(if anyone believes in ghosts on here) It shocked me to hear that the house was the scene of the crime. The home would be a good place for a Hitchcockian Murder,Mystery Movie. But in real life it did see such a horrendous ...

Really????? It's fine as it is,and I really don't think the registry will allow it.
And I don't think it could go out that wide without collapse. I give kudos to a cool concept

Whoa! Just beautiful.

Can't forget the service station design he did in the 20's then was built in the 50's as Lindholm. The story in the "Sketches,Plans,Designs" states the Service Station was designed during the building of Westhope, Richard Lloyd Jones home. He felt the service stations were to small and not permanent...

It should read similar to the built. We should add a plan of built second plan to compare. If this were the built plan I wonder what others would say besides "the pickle factory". The art deco house maybe? It would be harder to classify in the history of the city, we call the built Streamlined. I kn...

Wow JimM thanks. It is great to see it in color, which I did not know.

Sadly the book is at my work.
Unless someone comes forward to back up what I said.

Look very closely to the first floor of Jones it's very Usonian in a way.
SDR can you blow up the image? or is that about as large as the image can go?
I believe BBP in a book published in the 50's with a lot of Wright drawings similar to the Sketches,Drawings, Plans book I have.

Why was it written that Jones had a pitched roof, and looked japanese but he changed his mind when he went to the site..... I am truly confused by that statement.

I am still interested in seeing the first scheme for Richard Lloyd Jones.
Goff's first all geometric design was I think 1925

Well as Unbrook wrote to me in 2009 when I did the model of Weltzheimer in CAD. I did not add a rounded edge or the orbs thus it became very horizontal and not softened. In the 09 model I made a half round edge in 2011 I put the orbs in. I guess one could add the little tiny round legos around the e...

Bruce Goff was what Wright wanted to aim for in his geometric designs. However Goff seemed to make the designs flamboyant whereas Wright was more refined and practical. Goff did design prairie houses similar to Wright's designs, but he also was branching into geometric forms like that of Boston Aven...
