Description of Pictures: Frank Lloyd Wright: Architecture of the Interior
On view July 10th through September 6th
The District Architecture Center is pleased to host Frank Lloyd Wright: Architecture of the Interior, an exhibition exploring the design of Frank Lloyd Wright’s houses, often considered his greatest architectural accomplishment. Through reproduction drawings, photographs, and photographic murals, the exhibition illustrates the myriad—both obvious and subtle—ways Wright created the visual character of interior space and objects within it, each an essential detail of the larger whole.
Drawings and photographs of interiors show the ingenious ways Wright maximized the feeling of open space while accommodating the various functions for daily living. Wright’s rejection of past styles led him to the contemporary visual language of abstraction and geometry. For Wright, this language had a deeper source as the structure and ornament of all forms in nature. Just as a living form is one entity in structure and ornament, so the house was to be a single whole in structure and expression. The works in this exhibition reveal how all elements in Wright’s design express the overarching abstract geometric order of the house. Learn more

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

23. AIAFLW_190730_146.JPG: Samuel Freeman House | Perforated Modular Unit Los Angeles, California 1924 In the early 1920s, Wright designed four houses using concrete blocks cast with distinct decorative patterns, supposedly inspired by Mayan and Aztec temples. These textured modular units "beautified" what Wright considered a cheap and ugly material while unifying the exterior and interior spaces to create harmony. Harriet Freeman bequeathed the house to the University of Southern California School of Architecture in the mid-1980s. After years of decay, as well as damage sustained during the 1994 Northridge earthquake, the house underwent an initial phase of stabilization and rehabilitation. It is unclear, however, if the house today is fully rehabilitated.
