1. Theory Of Design By: Shiv Singh (23BAR10004)

2. Frank lloyd wright Architect (1867–1959) Frank Lloyd Wright was a modern architect who developed an organic and distinctly American style. He designed numerous iconic buildings.

3. Accomplishments: His architectural career lasted almost 70 years. Frank Lloyd Wright developed the theory "Form and Function Are One.“ During his final years, he designed two of his most famous projects, the Guggenheim Museum and the Marin County Civic Center. Frank Lloyd Wright designed 1141 homes and buildings, of those 532 were completed by his death. Frank Lloyd Wright had a global impact on modern architecture, influencing design styles not only in America, but also in Europe and Asia.

4. Basic principles of wright designs : Organic colours Simple geometric shapes Integration of building with natural surroundings Strong horizontal lines and Frank Lloyd Wright Home hidden entries and StudioOak Park, Illinois (1889)

5. Famous Buildings: Fallingwater   (Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. Residence),   Bear Run, Pennsylvania , 1935–1937 Frederick C. Robie Residence , Chicago, Illinois, 1909 Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum , New York City, 1956–1959 Unity Temple , Oak Park , Illinois, 1904 Price Tower ,  Bartlesville, Oklahoma , 1952–1956

6. FALLING WATER , SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA The site chosen was a natural landscape area for the weak end home with a water stream with it. It was thought that the building would have a view of stream but fl wright made it over the stream. Spaces are designed to bring nature inside the four walls Cluster organisation around central core

7. Wright used only 4 materials to build Fallingwater — sandstone, reinforcedconcrete , steel and glass. Horizoantal element – concrete. planes differentiated and accentuate by changes in colour , texture, and material . vertical element – native stone. gives a sclupture quality highlighting the horizontal Interiors are simply through vibrant because of use of triadic colours for furnitures and monochromatic brown colour for walls, ceiling , floor

8. Wright used a lot of clear glass to allow the outside to flow freely into the inside. At certain times of day, the glass becomes very reflective and reminds some people of the mirror-like surfaces of a calm pool of water. At night, the glass seems to disappear. Wright chose the pale ochre color of the concrete to match the back of a fallen rhododendron leaf.

9. Plans and section :

10. GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM, new york , united states. Established in 1937 Type Art museum Frank Lloyd Wright created the Guggenheim Museum as a series of organic shapes. Circular forms spiral down like the interior of a shell. Visitors to the museum begin on the upper level and follow a sloping ramp downward through connected exhibition spaces.

11. Concept : The building itself became a work of art. At the core, an open rotunda offers views of artwork on several levels. From the street, the building looks like a white ribbon rolled into a cylindrical shape, slightly wider at the top than at the bottom. Internally, the galleries form a spiral.

12. Its design was inspired by a "Ziggurat" Babylonian temple pyramid, inverted.

13. ROBIE HOUSE , CHICAGO The Robie House of 1910 is generally considered to be Wright’s “ best”Prairie style work. This style is characterized by a dominating horizontal axis, bandedwindows , and a spacious and open interior plan. The exterior is dominated by a lowhipped roof, simple building materials (mainly brick, wood, and stucco)

14. Fl wright principle was followed in this house: strong horizontal lines hidden entries simple geometric shapes were followed in robie house glass

15. concept : The house was designed for Frederick C. Robie , a bicycle manufacturer, who did not want a home done in the typical Victorian style. Robie desired a modern floorplan and needed a garage, and a playroom for children. He also required that his home be fire-proof, yet retained an open floor plan free of closed, box-like rooms that would prevent the uniformity of decoration and design.

16. Unity temple , lake street , oak park, , united states Background : In 1905, after the original Unity Church burned down, the  Universalist  congregation of Oak Park, Illinois turned to architect  Frank Lloyd Wright  to design them a new structure.  And finally, the architect was expected to design not only the structure, but  furniture  and  stained glass  for the building. 

17. Wright designed Unity Temple in Oak Park (1905) as a place of worship for the Unitarian faith. This is his original drawing of the building. As is consistent with the Unitarian faith, the building is stately, solid, and devoid of religious iconography.

18. Principles: the solid concrete construction, as well as the incorporation of other typical Wright elements. Simple geometric shape Hidden entries

19. Meaning in architecture : Falling water : Repesent water, as it is placed above the falling water . Robie house : Represent Land . Constructed by wood, brick . Guggenheim museum : Represent social and culture . Since it is a museum , it has art works that repesent culture . Unity temple : Represent Religion . Since it is a church .

20. Awards : AIA Gold Medal (1949) Twenty-five year award Royal Gold Medal (1941) Famous quotes : The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization. Form follows function - that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union. Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.
