The Price Tower operates an inn. I stayed one night there. I was struck by the way light and shadow interacted within the space. Every surface participated in it visually. Being in one of these rooms, living in it for even so short a time, is a subtle but immensely profound experience. It's one of being _inside_ a sculpture.

thank you so much for sharing thoughts on Franl L Right. As a young architecture student 0 years back I have always been attracted by his designs and the concepts behind them. your contribution is appreciated.

Please don’t stop. Your Chanel is a blessing

It's been only 3 minutes but I'm already in love with your channel. Great content!

This is an excellent presentation 👍🏼. I am very glad to have found it!

Fran Lloyd Wrights work are all connected together. It just flows inside and outside. Pleasing to the eyes.

By far one of the most interesting videos I have ever seen!

Great video. Learned a lot. I'll apply to my next concept what I learned. Thank you.

As a novice, I would appreciate understanding nesting, spaces penetrating each other (like breaking the box?), and lastly extension of spaces. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks!

Meanwhile.. Gaudi was using the logic of our physical reality to design, Fuller had solutions for problems 100 years ahead of his time and Hadid used simple projection to change how we perceive space, altogether. Those who know, know. There is no master with all the answers.

We architects have a very difficult position during critique. How do you do it ? In context of paradigm or technology or politics perhaps ? Purely based on popular opinion- surely not that, good god at least not that! Or maybe we choose emotion - In which case: Show me a standardized unit of measurement for spatial-emotional-response, establish what a design elicits. We can begin to have the answer to your question. Again, this is just an opinion. 😊

Thanks for posting and explaining his methods. Mind blowing tbh Trying to find more examples of Compression Release effect entrances. My father was a big FLW fan and used these on buildings for universities (Oxford/Cambridge)but unfortunately he's no longer here to explain

@robertsarchitecture

9 ай бұрын

Yes, most of FLW's Usonian houses use 'compression and release' at the entrances. It is hard to see in plan because the ceiling height is what 'compresses'. Also adding to compression is the lack of light, then opening up to higher ceiling and lots of light.

The quote from Louis Sullivan comes from his book 'A System of Architectural Ornament' ; "These simple forms, of ancient discovery and use, were given esoteric meaning and occult powers by the men of that day in an effort to control, by means of formulas and secret ritual, the destiny of man amidst the powers of nature. With mystic numbers and other phenomena they formed part of an elaborate system of magic to which the world pinned its faith." This is a very poetic way to say architects used sacred geometry in their work.

Franky is one PARAMETRIC ARCHITECT that used the modular construction algorithm without knowing it. He devised his own pipelining process in HIS DRAWINGS. This dude his one of the pioneers on establishing a database building approach in his design process. In the end Architecture IS THIS. Architecture is a design of a database that serves our living and our logics. All the production of Franky is an extraordinary exploration of modular architecture using parametric design. You can see THIS in Le Corbusier too. The future IS the past. And the PAST is the future such as the architecture of the primitive future established by Sou Fujimoto. Frank Lloyd right UNDERSTOOD this quite well.

wow this is great i had no idea about sullivan's influence on FLW in terms of the geometric stuff. One thing that struck me about how wright uses those fundamental concepts of nesting, extrension, penetration; is that it makes his designs look almost fractal like. This is another way i think FLW manages to bridge the gap of inorganic forms like squares with their 90 degree angles with the organic forms of nature that are winding and twisting, repeating and fractal like. On another note, you mentioned that FLW often plays with that pinwheel technique, rotating a geometric form around a center. I wonder if this was influenced at all by the design of one of his very first works, the romeo and juliet windmill that he made for his aunts' boarding school, the Hillside Home School. but maybe that's a strech tho

It is said that Wright was deeply influenced by Froebel gifts which were a child's toy blocks. These blocks could be arranged in geometric patterns including pinwheels. Although he played with them as a child, he was definitely more influenced by Sullivan.

Thank you so much for this video. My father incorporated many of Frank Lloyd’s principles in the very fine home he built for the family in 1958 at the Biltmore’s neighborhood. For this reason, I always wanted to continue improving in those design and to create my own…however I opted for medicine the last two years of HS and this has allowed me now to propose a merge between Architecture and the principles of human physiology …to build structures capable of pumping up water for virtually free …like the ósmosis and difusión of the Biological realm…to conceive a type of sustainable architecture only possible in the imagination before. Freedom everywhere!…The Vertical water displacement or hydroelectric VW-D will help building more “water fall houses” at lower maintenance cost with improved integration to natural environment.I am starting the building of a vertical water displacement station by using a pendulum wheel now powered by real horses and the second generation of this water technology will only use capillarity, leverage and transferring water as osmosis to gain height. As poetical and “crazy” as it sounds, the sky is the limit.

Great video! A piece of advice: Find out how to disable autofocus on your camera and manually focus on the paper. This will prevent the camera from focus hunting when your hand enters the frame. This was evident during two drawing sequences in the video and it really detracted from the wonderful overall presentation. Keep making videos!

The autofocus is more dependent on the lens than the camera body. If you have an actual camera, the answer here is to turn off autofocus with a stationary subject like a piece of paper.
