Imperial Hotel, Tokyo, Japan- Survived earthquake of 1923These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.- Demolished in 1968, lobby and pool reconstructed in 1976 at Meiji Mura, near NagoyaB. Barnsdall House Los Angeles, California- Hollyhock House- Represents a new direction in Wright’s work- included the traces of Indigenous American civilizations- included also pre-Columbian ruins of Meso AmericanC. Millard House- first textile block house D. Ennis House- structure is the fourth and largest of Wright's textile block designs- constructed primarily of interlocking pre-cast concrete blocksE. Taliesin- three sections: two broad portions on either end and a narrow connecting loggiaF. Taliesin III - Wright was deeply in debt following the destruction of Taliesin II- Wright's best known buildings and most ambitious designs were created at Taliesin IIIG. Taliesin West - Wright’s winter headquarter- Construction began in 1938 in Scottsdale, near Phoenix. - Then, Wright stayed the summers in Taliesin Wisconsin and the winters in Taliesin West- He used materials taken from the local and combined adobe and desert boulders, redwood beams, canvas panels to create a shaded interior that moderated the sun’s heat and glareH. Jacobs First Residence- costs was about $5,500- designed an L-shaped structure with an open floor plan and two bedroomI. Mile High Illinois Skyscraper- unbuilt- structurally yet impossibleJ. Marin County Civic Center- Wright's largest public project- encompassed an entire campus of civic structuresK. Falling Water- Fireplace in bedroom- integration between site and natureL. Johnson Wax Administration Center- circular geometry, circular motifs- single reinforced concrete foundation for the central core is called the tap roof - band of pyrex glass tubing- Pyrex glass tubing laid row upon row on metal racks with vinyl gaskets and silicone caulking between silicone rubber - caulking was created specifically for the unique problems encountered with weatherproofingM. Guggenheim Museum- One of the great buildings of the twentieth century- Quarter-mile-long ramp spirals around a six-story interior sculpture courtN. Gordon Strong Automobile Objective- Precedent formsII. Concrete Block Houses- series of textile-block houses, made to his own designs- laid in a stacked bond, and held together by internal steel reinforcing bars- imposes an orthogonal geometry on the designIII. Usonian Houses- Designed to control costs, these houses had no attics, no basements, and little ornamentation. - Wright aspired to create a democratic, distinctly American style that was affordable for the common people- low roofs, open living spaces, brick, wood, and other material- small; one-story structures set on concrete slabs with piping for radiant heat beneath- kitchens were incorporate with the living spaces- dining room was abolished in favor of an alcove, with table in it - exceeded budget costsIV. Broad Acre City- suburban development
