Excellent video with some fascinating designs by FLW. I particularly like the worker's cottage for Taliesin. Thank you very much for your research and presentation.

So happy you liked the video! FLW's designs are truly captivating, right?

Fascinating insights. I think a couple of projects discussed did not make it into the video...the Toyko Embassy in particular. Cheers.

How are a series of rectangles draped upon one another "organic"?

[@fzarchitecture]

Hi, in Wright when we talk about organic, is not as current architecture that it is more as organic shapes. In that time, organic architecture was to bring the nature, contact with the exterior and be more transparent in the time when the architecture couldn't offer that sense of living. For that reason Wright is called organic because he broke the box where all were living. See the series chapters of Frank Lloyd Wright, the videos of his life and you will see and understand the time for that great evolution. Thank you for joining.
