Spectacular! I have been following this since the start! They had web cams set up on the construction site so you could log in and see the progress in real time!! It is a shame that people were so short sighted as to allow the demolition of the Larken Admin building! Now just a parking lot!!

It simply boggles the mind to observe the amount of thought that went into the Martin house. It just baffles my mind to try and understand the amount of money it took even then to construct such a massive home. Darwin DE Martin must have loved Frank a lot, to let his pencil run rampant across many drawing boards in the Wright office.

It's hard to believe that home was built in 1905. It's a testament to the architectural genius of FLLW and how far advanced and ahead of his time he was. That home if built today would look like a modern home.

My first trip to the Darwin Martin House was in 1976. My second in 1980. I visited it for the third time in 2003. The house was a revelation even in its state of disrepair in the 1976. The progress in restoring it extraordinary. I need to visit it again to see the reconstructed pergola, conservatory, carriage house and mosaic covered fireplace.

Of the approximately 55 pieces of original Wright-designed furniture pieces, we have approx 35 in our collection. We have recreated some of the pieces, and not all are on display to make it easier for visitors to move through the house. Also, some of the originals belong in museum and private collections.

My neighbor lived in the Barton house as a teenager in the 50's. She described the surrounding property as still there but abandoned and well on its way to being run down at the time. One of her sisters had a 'club house' in the basement of the Barton house and the 'big scary statue' in the conservatory.

@michaeljarosz4062
@michaeljarosz4062 Жыл бұрын
The color photo of the building being demolished by the steam shovel is not part of the Wright original. The owner of the complex, Sebastian Tauriello (an architect no less!!!) sometime in the 1950s tore out the pergola, conservatory and garage. In its place he built several undistinguished apartment buildings to generate income to save the main house. After the Martin complex was taken over by the State, those interloping buildings were removed, making way for the rebuilding of the lost pergola, conservatory and garage. That demolition is the photo shown here. The pergola conservatory and garage we see today are in fact new construction.

3D Printing each piece after the hard work has been done once? I actually don’t know if there are 3D printers that cut wood? I’d imagine there are. I’m behind the times. Just thinking as a non-skilled wood worker myself. Great work I envy anyone that is so good at creating from wood.
@joesmith1574
@joesmith1574 3 жыл бұрын
3D printers don’t actually cut wood, they use filament, whether plastic or metal, to build an object. It’s used as additive construction, not the subtractive construction he was describing. It works like an etch-a-sketch in that it moves in an X and Y plane and some variables in between to get curves. It shoots out the filament layer by layer, so it takes some time to construct something, depending on how complicated the shape is.

Wow! That certainly wasn’t in Frank Lloyd Wright’s vision! Are there before and after pictures? I enjoy rewatching the PBS show Frank Lloyd Wright’s Buffalo. I don’t remember when it first aired but I was glad to see that it’s still available for viewing. Is that a sprinkler system I see with the orange fittings? It’s been a few years since my last visit so I can’t wait to come back.
