Inuences On WrightFrank Lloyd Wright 1867 - 1959
• Wright claimed that his architecture was entirely original and inuenced only by his mentors ulli=an and,dler
• ulli=an inuenced WrightGs #hiloso#hy and instilled in Wright a desire to break from the #ast in an attem#tto de=elo# an indigenous architecture to suit the ,merican landsca#e and democratic culture
• ,dditionally his early education with the Froebel .ifts was inuential in de=elo#ing his understanding ofgeometric #atterns and form and in de=elo#ing an sense of unity
•
Frank Lloyd Wright was also keenly interested in and inuenced by )a#anese art• es#ite WrightGs claim that his architecture was entirely original! the inuence of )a#anese art and
architecture can be seen in the strong horiontal lines attened roofs and o#en-#lan of his *rairie-stylehouses

Our opinion :(ritical analysis and reections u#on
WrightGs designs• When we see WrightGs buildings we are mo=ed by their sim#le beauty! their em#athy for the
landsca#e and the minute detail in his design• /ach one of his buildings stands today as a testament to the enduring rele=ance of his #hiloso#hy
of organic architecture• &he modern architecture ins#ired by WrightGs design is usually! alas! a #ale imitation often merely
austere and functional! it ignores the landsca#e and disregards the userGs aesthetic e+#erience tothe e+#edience of cost
• 2f only the Fremont ranch-style house in which we li=e had a few of the humaniing designelements Wright includedQ
• While my house alludes to his conce#t of using natural light with its e+#ansi=e windows! borrowsfrom his notions of sim#le design! natural color and o#en-s#ace! it lacks the o=erall integratedAowE and harmony of WrightGs careful #lanning
• While each of WrightGs indi=idual buildings harmonie with their surroundings in their own uni?ueway! the 195;Ss ranch-style homes M and the saus could be said for many other modern
construction ones - were built for en masse demand• e=elo#ers seeking to meet the ra#id demand for housing! while kee#ing costs low!

Our opinion :(ritical analysis and reections u#on
WrightGs designs• Kut is the chea#ened distortion of WrightGs #hiloso#hy of organic architecture wholly lamentableD• 2t is clear to us that while WrightGs work has had a #rofound eHect on our li=es and is testament to the
#ower of e+cellent design! e=en he realied after his attem#t to design the sonian homes for Aordinary#eo#leE that he was unable to marry his #hiloso#hy to the budgetary constraints of ordinary #eo#le
• When designing large #ro"ects with abundant budgets Wright was renowned for e+cessi=e cost o=errunsin order to achie=e his com#lete design
• Furthermore! while he designed s#ace to allow for the Afree mo=ementE of #ersons through that s#ace!his rigid #roscri#tion of furniture #lacement and wish for com#lete control of e=en the smallest ofdesign elements in AhisE homes would not be agreeable to how most #eo#le would wish to li=e
• Wright #ur#orted to be de=elo#ing an Aindigenous architecture to suit the ,merican landsca#e anddemocratic cultureE! while also being reluctant to yield his control o=er the minutest as#ects of hisdesigns and how #eo#le should li=e within his buildings - e=en dictating the dinnerware they shouldkee# in their cu#boardsQ
• 2n this we see an internal contradiction to WrightGs design as#irations and #hiloso#hy which renders itunworkable as a #hiloso#hic design for the masses
• o when we think about the ways in which my ranch-style house fail to li=e-u# to the grand as#irationsof the master of the designGs origins! we also re"oice in ha=ing the freedom to #lay with the s#ace as
my own! to be able to choose my own furniture and decorati=e elements and to o#en-u# or close-oHs#aces within the house to suit my own aesthetic sense
• We sincerely ho#e! howe=er! that WrightGs #hiloso#hy of organic integration of a building with itssurroundings and em#athy to the landsca#e is ready to be heard again! as we lose something =ital tothe human condition when we close oursel=es oH to the en=ironment in which we li=e
• *erha#s we may see a re-emergence of WrightGs inuence on design in this area as #eo#le continue tolook for ways to accommodate en=ironmental concerns into their oTce and housing designsD
