Frank Lloyd Wright. Image Set: SR Set: Frank Lloyd Wright. This magnificent set of the uniquely American architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright is composed of images from seven different vendors of Scholars Resource. These essential images of buildings spanning seventy years of FLW design are listed (roughly) in chronological order so as to illustrate the evolution and progression of the master's creative thinking. Wright believed in integrating architecture with the landscape, and visually connecting interior and exterior spaces, amply illustrated by his iconic Falling Water at Bear Run. His Prairie Style featured long low horizontal lines, shallow sloping roofs, and deep cantilevered overhanging eaves as seen in the Robie House in Chicago. Organic designs contrast the low, desert-hugging stone and concrete of Taliesin West with bold gleaming curves of the Guggenheim Museum spiraling up from urban streets of New York City.

Frank Lloyd Wright: Designs for an American Landscape, 1922-1932 (Library of Congress Exhibition) Frank Lloyd Wright. Frank Lloyd Wright | The Re-Model. Photo by David Heald, © The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New YorkModel of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Herbert Jacobs House #1, Madison, Wisc., 1936-37; developed by Situ Studio, Brooklyn. In “Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward,” an exhibition currently on view at the Guggenheim Museum, the models of Wright’s designs are attracting as much attention as the exhibition itself.

Perhaps the most notable model is that of Wright’s Herbert Jacobs House #1 of 1936-37, the first of the architect’s pioneering open-plan, energy-efficient Usonian houses. The basswood model takes the house’s components — from its window frames to its innovative copper-piped radiant-heating system — and explodes them, so that they seem to hang in midair. This and five other models in the exhibition were designed and made by Situ Studio, a four-year-old Brooklyn multidisciplinary firm known for its cutting-edge approach to digital design and fabrication technologies.
