Wright Chat

I always like seeing detailed drawing about the construction of Wright's works -- especially notes on how they are to be built. Gives some insight into his engineering.

I have some high-quality scans of the Boulder project on my site.

I only wanted to do unbuilt stuff of Wright since it tends to be the hardest material to find.

SDR: Added a search function. Click the box on the upper-right of the visions of wright banner; top-down menu should come up.

It details a lot about Wright in Europe.

Thanks. I'll look again and see what I can decipher.

I have to request, as I usually do: can anyone post floorplans? It looks like a lovely house.

There's a handful of American System-Built plans I've not seen before.

The largest errors I tend to see regarding "Prairie" architecture: lack of overhanging eaves stressing the horizontal; low stories; bands of windows; symmetry in some regards; etc. By contrast to the Prairie, Usonians were, ironically, part of the type of "Machine" architectural-ideal echoed by the ...

OK, so, for a few weeks I've been scanning and posting, etc., images from Taschen and various books I have to finally make a site that somewhat archives Wright's projects. It goes through every year he was active. https://visionsofwright.wordpress.com/ It goes in chronological order -- except for th...

All this talk of Hollyhock, I wish I could get pictures of the models they have of Little Dipper, etc. there. Too bad it was roped off.

One of those rare Wright houses with a garage.

From what I was told by a teacher of mine years ago, Wright's usage of 30/60-angle grids was, also, due to the angles being easier to maneuver around, i.e. he felt it has a more "natural" feel to it -- iirc. I could only wager the reason he chose what grid for what houses was just whatever entered h...
