#FrankLloydWright famously claimed that playing with Froebel kindergarten blocks kindled his fascination for form-making. #LeCorbusier, #BuckminsterFuller and #CharlesEames started with the brightly coloured geometric wooden pieces too. Then came #Meccano: look at #NormanFoster’s HSBC Tower in Hong Kong or #RichardRogers’ Lloyd's of London, the lineage is clear.

Hype for the Future 38/284: Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright was a very influential architect and perhaps amongst the most significant of architectural icons in the history of the field. Born in Richland Center, Wisconsin, his studio would be located at Taliesin nearer Spring Green, Wisconsin, though on the opposite side of the Wisconsin River. Since the Taliesin estate is opposite the Wisconsin River, the place is located within the Town of Wyoming, in Iowa County. Within the entire region, however, is the Driftless Area, which […]

still struggling through war-torn Chicago, and stumbled upon this bombed-out structure. so sad. #Chicago #FrankLloydWright #RobieHouse

Herbert Jacobs House - Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation
