Please can you tell me the difference between the praire style and the bauhauss ? because i feel like they have the same characteristics Thankyou for your amazing content
thanks .. we should be doing a video on bauhaus but technically FLW had a major influence on Bauhaus and modernism even though he was against the cold production aspect of later modernists architects..
Sorry I'm a year late to reply to your inquiry. I'm also going to go on an anti Frank Lloyd Wright rant. Sorry. The Prairie Style was NOT the brainchild of FLlW. He was an opportunist who felt the zeitgeist of the time as championed by Louis Sullivan mostly but also others in the 1890s of the "Chicago School" of architecture, and surrounded himself with architectural idealists like himself to be the leading STUDIO of Prairie Style in the Chicago area. There were other talented architects who designed in the Prairie Style at the same time. If one reads further on the subject of Prairie School architects, especially those directly associated with Wright in his Oak Park studio, a picture emerges where he appears to have significantly taken credit for others' ideas. Examining features of designs by "assistants" such as Griffin, Mahony-Griffin and Drummond after they left Wright's employment, it should be obvious except to the most sycophantic of Wright enthusiasts how much his "draftspeople" contributed to "Wright's Prairie Style". The evolution of Prairie Style into post WWI modernism is more evident when looking at the more abstract designs NOT done by Wright. Of course the Wasmuth portfolio of 1910 had a major impact on modernism, but Wright was not a fan of flat roofs until it became clear that was the direction architecture was heading. Even though he took complete credit for every design that came out of his Prairie-era Oak Park studio, it seems more likely that Drummond was the champion of flat roofed Prairie designs such as the Yahara boat house and the Laura Gale house. Griffin also designed the Bovee two-flat around the same time Wright gives the date of the Laura Gale creation. There is an anecdote quoted in several relatively recent books about Walter and Marion Griffin where Barry Byrne was asked about life in the studio - Wright would often hold contests for pieces of house design including stained glass, furniture, wood decorative detail, and implying that part or all of floor plans was included also, and Marion Mahony often won these competitions, and the entries were filed away to use later on a FLlW house. Doesn't it seem likely then that, as Marion stated decades later on numerous occasions, Wright STOLE other people's ideas, and not just hers? As Art Nouveau in the late 1890s evolved into less decorative and more abstract design, I believe that the more abstract style of late Prairie School that Drummond and Griffin were fond of after 1910 was more of an influence on European architectural design than Wright's more romantic post Victorian and post Art Nouveau Prairie Style. There are lots of books that have photographs of buildings and include historical information on the Prairie School these days. It's fascinating.
Informative ❤🎉🎉
Pls discuss Modern style....glass, steel and concrete

Is there an earthquake?
Why do your pictures move around on the screen? Is that necessary? It is very annoying!!!
