Module #7 Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prarie View

     I chose this film because Wright was an American visionary and an icon who developed and enhanced  an original architectural category with his prairie style architecture. This film seems to be a part of the motif exhibited in the book. It incorporated original architectural techniques by recycling clay, boulders, and other natural materials during construction of some of his earliest homes after excavating basement in his new build homes. Wright tried to incorporate nature and the surrounding environment when designing his homes. Wright wanted to create a synergy between architecture, nature, and science, an organic architecture. This film by including Sullivan and Richardson gives us Buffalonian's pride in the treasures that we have access to. Wright emphasizes wood and nature in his architecture which was a stark difference from the other film that I watched, "The science of design." Wright distinguished his architecture with the use of lights, natural and man made such as stained glass, fireplaces and windows. Frank Lloyd Wright blended fine art and architecture to create masterpieces throughout his career.
