My German dad designed and built a house remarkably like this, he even made the bricks himself. He was a very talented man who didn't have the education to build a career in architecture. He was a very good man, too. He must have been influenced by Lloyd Wright.
Wouldn't it be nice if the droning musical score were left out of this video? The narration is interesting enough. For example: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dE6E7vtEKD4.html
Is it me or is it a coincidence. that some doctor's and major Hospital's entrance and halls and Some interior/exterior look as if the design were inspired by Wright?
I like the way FLW acknowledged that some of us love to read and write by including lots of shelf space and study nooks. It's really hard to find this in the luxury market in California which has homes built on a foundation of stereotypes about being shallow and hedonistic.
Hi Tracy, So sorry to hear. I blame it on the current education of Architects and the way Senior architects use their understudies to make money not art.
@@gospelofrye6881interestingly Paul Simon knew little about FLW and the song was his goodbye to former architecture student Art Garfunkel. Art himself didn't know this until the duo broke up.
an hgtv show I would actually watch would be 3 experts. 1 flw expert that appraises houses working with 1 working architect, and 1 contractor. they can check out the classics and try to recreate a modern one (if possible) id watch that
This is an absolute delight. My mother grew up in a house designed by one of Frank Lloyd Wright's students, Antonin Raymond. She had a balcony off her childhood bedroom.
His homes are unique but a home should be comfortable. I don’t get that feeling from his work. I’m also 6’6 so one of his homes would’ve never worked for me.
Love F LW’s architecture…have visited several of his homes…all are unique yet also have some commonalities..Falling Water..magical,Taliesin West,Graycliff,The Martin House(Buffalo) The Boathouse(Buffalo)
Very well narrated home tour. Everything you'd like to know and more importantly, nothing exaggerated or flowered-up. I also appreciate the honesty and saying something negative, for example, the door hitting the toilet.
Loved the trip down memory lane .. I lived 1 block from here .. my friend's family bought this place and lived there .. spent quite a bit of time there out on the dock and in the woods .. lol we even made wine up in the maid's room
Very cool. I felt like there must have been water but the tour was short. Great memory to have. I remember a couple designed homes from childhood. I try to look them up on Earth sometimes. The aren’t bunches in the Seattle neighborhood but plenty Tudor revival middle class homes
I dig FLR houses and his designs but make them livable for us. Internet, modern amenities is not a lot to ask for. The house doesnt get changed by putting in a stove or toilet that is modern. I never understood that part of some of these. And making them all into museums is also just silly. It is a House. You live in it. Still love FLR, just saying.
Once again there does not need to be annoying background music which takes away from the interesting story of possibly the greatest architect who ever lived. Please don't ruin future documentaries regarding Frank Lloyd Wright...quiet reflection is much more desirable. Thank you
New homes need to adjust to the times. Home solar energy and battery storage are now more common. Electric vehicles are becoming more popular every year. Every garage should include a 220 volt outlet and electric vehicle charger. Every new home and business should install a rain water collection and storage system along with solar panels. Even in areas where rain is infrequent it is crazy to waste the little rain that does fall and waste it. We need to stop planting green lawns and switch to local native plantings around homes. It is crazy to plant lawns and build golf courses in dry desert areas. We waste too much water and electricity. the future is electric. Wind and solar energy along with electric vehicles are the future. Stop using fossil fuels. There is a climate crisis.
There isn't a single house in FLW that doesn't fascinate me, except Falling Water, which despite being his best-known work, paradoxically is the one I like least.
Large roof over hangs are beautiful and protect the doors, windows and siding from rain and moisture damage. Water is the enemy of buildings. Architects and home builders need to bring back large roof over hangs
I think FLW was annoyed with the homeowner. He always thought his designs were perfect.When the owner of Falling Water balked at the plans FLW told him off. 😆 Needless to say the homeowner acquiesced to Wright's plans and never regretted it.,
“Watch your step.” Amazing how little regard this designer had for human shelter and comfort. His projects are uninhabitable formalist exercises. Worth a tour to expose the myth of his genius.
@@RAREFORMDESIGNS Shelter, comfort, accommodation, space, light. These were sacrificed to visionary concepts. I don’t think one could live in such environments for long and escape injury or depression.
