Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece Unity Temple: The first modern building in the world
Unprecedented for its time with the use of a single material reinforced concrete it is considered to be by many the first modern building in the world. Completed in 1908 and located in Oak Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2019. I thoroughly loved the tour.

Louis Sullivan’s Charnley-Persky House with assistance from his junior draftsman, Frank Lloyd Wright

Designed between 1891-1892, the Charnley-Persky House is recognized as a pivotal work of modern American architecture. Located in Chicago, it is a National Historic Landmark and now serves as the headquarters of the Society of Architectural Historians. In my opinion it is pretty cool, but as it is a utilized building, no original furniture is used and there is limited access to the bedrooms and...

What are the openings in the roof over hang called? The growth of plants that shade them is wonderful. What do I call them? Trellises? Pergolas? Porticos? Brise Soleils?
@@glennmartin6492 tell you the truth I do not know. I will definitely need to check
@@markdhecimovich2568 Until you do I'm going to call them "leaf orifices".
@@glennmartin6492 may end up in a dictionary someday🤣
Wisconsin was gifted with the creations of Frank Lloyd Wright.
@@501rivet definitely and how lucky
@@markdhecimovich2568 ...Wright seemed to place design as the main feature of his creations, then incorporated human use of space into the design. The breakfast nooks, the multi windowed walls providing an openness to the outdoors regardless of what was on the other side, creating a generous feeling of living space. Wrights pure "divine" design use of those spaces was, is, not for everyone, which can betray the unique streamlined layouts, if in the hands of a less "connected" tenant.
@@501rivet well said!
Thank you for this video. This house is one of the true gems. It's impossible to convey a sense of its beauty without being there, but this video serves as a lovely invitation.
@@johnarthos2492 thank you very kindly. It is a beautiful home and worth visiting.
@@johnarthos2492 thank you very kindly. It is a beautiful home and worth visiting.
Excuse me? My wife and I stayed at the Price Tower. Last time I checked it was a hotel and was totally designed by FLW.
@@larrysorenson4789 thank you for the comment. Yes, it is a hotel now and one I would love to visit. However, it not originally designed as a hotel and henceforth the title. Regardless, both are wonderful. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts
Beautiful!! What's Next?
@@greatmustis thank you. Hopefully Taliesin West in Phoenix. Thanks for the kind words
Lovely video. It’s a shame the Munkwitz Duplex Apartments (1916) were destroyed.
@@briantuma1502 that’s so interesting. Where in Milwaukee were they located? I would like to do some research on them. Thanks for that
@@markdhecimovich2568 Located at 27th and Highland Blvd. I don’t know the exact address. Officials name was Arthur Munkwitz Duplex Apartments. A friend of mine has a stained glass window from the place
@@briantuma1502 that’s cool. Cheers. I will be in the area next weekend so will definitely check it out
Lovely video; thank you for the tour. If you ever get the chance to see the Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain, it's well worth the visit. That one was done by Frank Gehry.
@@derekdcomedian thank you for the kind words. I am a big fan of Gehry’s and will definitely get to Bilbao.

@@marmar9400 thank you for viewing
Великолепно.
His domiciles are so well done they provoke an emotional response at the mere sight. Falling Water chokes me up. Same here. Maybe they're not the most livable, but they're visually stunning always.
@@thudeets I agree! Thanks for viewing
I have very few things on my bucket list but one of them is to visit Fallingwater with my two sons when they're the age I think they might be able to appreciate his work. I think about walking up to the house and I know it will bring me to tears. Like you said even thinking about it tears me up. I was trying to design a lounge chair a few weeks ago and was having problems making it look modern, streamlined and sleek, so just thinking about this man designing an entire house to bring an emotional or spiritual connection to it just blows me away. Greatest American architect ever baby!
@@ricardorinconvillareal9305 definitely go!
Amazing and beautiful. We are so lucky to have works by Sullivan and Wright still around.
@@madamemarmot I agree. Thanks for viewing
Lived on Burnham in The 90's. Passed the House and Apartments every day on the way to work. They look much better now than they did back then.

It's a beautiful house !! That hallway is one of the most beautiful in the world !!

Wonderful
@@stephenstephen1505, it’s a beautiful structure. Thank you for viewing
The building is in harmony with the landscape.
That was a beautiful tour of a beautiful house. THANK YOU!
@@kennethgustavison1812 thanks for viewing
Thank you for this wonderful video and the great shots. Very well made!
@@noellaq8056 that is very kind of you to say. However, it is all due to the structure and not me.
Masterpiece !!
It’s a brilliant structure. Thanks for viewing
Interesting but not pretty. Harsh and too square. Why we have so many different architectural designs. Everyone likes different stuff.
That is very insightful. One thing is that viewing via video or photographs is vastly different than being in person. In person you may have a slightly different opinion. Nonetheless, thank you for viewing and your valuable critique
I rather like it because it’s literally ‘outside of the box’. Too many houses are just plain boxes IMO
It’s a shame the house is so sparsely furnished. As a visitor attraction it would help ppl visualize the spaces much better were they fully furnished. I still really like it tho
@@catclelland2447 I agree! I am very disappointed that it is devoid of appropriate furniture. Furthermore, the U of Chicago uses it for gatherings etc….in my opinion that is just wrong considering its historical significance
@@catclelland2447 truth
Amazing. Everything straight as an arrow. No settlement
More livable than many of his projects, deft touch.
For sure, but the hallway and bedrooms are small and the kitchen tight
I'm a big fan of ASBH... Thanks for this !!
Thank you for viewing and the kind words
Lovely, thank you very much!

Good video, enjoy watching!!

Nice video 👏 Beautiful landscape!! I have done few drone shots, uploaded on the same platform, for my travel channel...thanks! SUBSCRIBED
Thank you and I just subscribed to your channel
@@markdhecimovich2568 thank you very much, appreciate 🙏
One of his BEST usonians... No doubt !! Thanks for sharing
Agree and thanks for watching
Which city is this?
Mason City, Iowa. Wright also designed a house there (Stockman) as well as Louis Sullivan, Walter Burley Griffin, who went on to design Canberra, the capital of Australia. Matter of fact Mason City has one of the foremost collections of Prairie-style homes in the world
Omg... What a video... Thanks... it would be nice to see more of your videos of F.LL.W
I have several including one I posted yesterday. Just follow me on Mark D Hecimovich
Wow, what a vacation❤
It was indeed
I see a bit of Unity Temple (Oak Park, IL) in the exterior design. Thanks for the video.
Good catch! Thank you
I find it hard to focus on the structures when there is constant camera movement. Hold, let us look, move to another static shot.
Thanks for the feedback. It’s always a gamble as to which technique to use primarily
I spent about 12 hours in this cave back in 1983. It was both beautiful and the scariest thing I've ever done. The waist-deep water wasn't bad, but wriggling (like worms) through long tiny tunnels (barely shoulder with and 12" high) on our bellies was the worst. I'd NEVER do anything like that today. And possibly the most memorable part of that day was after coming out of the cave, looking up and seeing the sky. Completely white with stars. I've never seen a night sky like that before or since that day. Great experience and a day I'll never forget.
For sure
thanks for this video.. my primary inspiration - Frank Lloyd Wright
Mine too😀
Thank you very much for this great video. More videos on Wright houses, please! And don't forget the Price Tower, in Oklahoma.
Thank you for the comment. I will definitely get to the beautiful Price Tower
I do have several other Wright videos here on my UA-cam channel
Schöne Kameraführung....aber durchgehend Vivaldi's "Vier Jahreszeiten" 😮. Tarantino hätte mehr geboten 😅
Thank you for your feedback
Wow, cool! I had forgotten about these projects. They are really great! Everything he did was awesome! Great video!
It’s a pretty cool place. Thanks for the comment
Been there, highly recommended and take the walking tour.
Indeed
What about the Biltmore in Phoenix?
It was not originally designed as a hotel but I hear it is magnificent. The Mason City Hotel was designed as a hotel and was the precursor for his Imperial Hotel in Tokyo
I have a love hate relationship with FLW. I can see a lot of similar things with this hotel and the Darwin Martin House. The skylight on the lobby is refreshing compared to many of his dark prairie style homes. Ah. Those wonderfully uncomfortable barrel chairs! Does the roof leak? Those houses are nice. Some of his lower priced ones given the stucco.
Did the Price tower not qualify? It is a hotel. It is working now. It was totally designed by Wright and built under his supervision. What’s up?
I agree. It is now, but not originally. Point taken but the intent of the Mason City hotel was originally a hotel. I heard the Price Tower is beautiful and hope to visit it someday
These 3 actors actually look pretty similar unlike the other BMG shows

Limited selection of music due to copyright issues so I try to find the best possible. Not ideal but those are the limitations
@@markdhecimovich2568 I meant it to be humorous. Nice work.
@@daveparker5569 thanks mate. I was not at all offended because this is definitely an issue we small time video dreamers deal with. Thanks for viewing
@@markdhecimovich2568 well it’s nice work.
He also built several homes along the river! My home town! Have stayed at the hotel! Very nice!
That’s awesome!
What's the music all about?
Truly not representative of anything other than fill. Most video editing apps provide only a limited amount of songs and I have to make a decision on which ones to use. Obviously copyright issues are the driving force. I understand some people don’t like the music and my suggestion is to mute it whilst viewing. However, I do thank you for viewing and sharing this query
His early Arts and Crafts houses are the best by far , masterpieces ! ❤
Stunningly beautyfull Arts and Crafts building ! Did I see some Gustave Stickley furniture in the hall ?
I doubt it but there are similarities
That clacking sound on the second floor was disturbing. Anyway, he wasn't the nicest person, but he sure could design a pretty building.
I agree!
