Frank
Lloyd Wright / Architect
[ send
me this paper ]
A 6 page paper on Frank Lloyd Wright, a talented
turn-of-the-century architect, whose designs were based
largely on Wright's own infatuation with the
'architecture' of nature. Specific examples of this
architect's work are provided to evidence this theme and
to better-explain Wright's own ideology. Also mentioned is
how some of his work reflects 'wholesome' family values
existing during the period in which he designed.

Frank
Lloyd Wright and the Prairie Style
[ send
me this paper ]
A 6 page paper which presents an overview of the Prairie
style of Frank Lloyd Wright. This particular style, which
Wright implemented in the early part of the 1900s, was a
style unique in that it incorporated the structure of the
prairie landscape, that which was flat and endless, into
the design of the houses he built. It was, and is, a very
simplistic design style which serves to illustrate yet
another aspect of Wright's concern with incorporating the
organic natural surroundings into his buildings. A brief
description of Prairie style is illustrated, along with
descriptions of two of his Prairie style houses, the
Coonley House and the May House. Bibliography lists 6
sources.

Frank
Lloyd Wright's Architecture and Japanese Influence
[ send
me this paper ]
This 12 page report discusses the similarities between the
architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and the architecture of
Japan. Wright's most essential concepts were of comfort
and livability, open and interesting spaces and plenty of
natural light, as well as a conscious integration of the
natural elements that are elemental to the human organism.
Innovation, incorporation, and 'flow' are not just part of
Japanese architecture but of Japan itself. Colors, shapes,
even its pattern of light and darkness reflect an innate
interconnectedness with nature in the designs of Wright as
much as in Japanese design. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
