- Inspired by the expansive landscape of America’s Midwest the Prairie style was the first uniquely American architectural style of the twentieth century. Learn more about Frank Lloyd Wright and the architects of the Prairie School in this short video from the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust.
Such brilliant man that saw the horizontal lines in the American landscape. Thanks to Wright a new style was developed that reglected something considered very American.
Thank you for this informative video, very helpful! beautiful music
lovely photos you chose for the cast of characters
I still love the prairie design.
Very well made video
Very interesting and beautiful video! Love FLW's houses and designs!
Thank you for the content! (Personally round the music a bit too loud)
I see many videos about fascinating Wright homes falling into disrepair, beset by construction defects or just the ravages of time. Are early Wright house plans in the public domain? Can they be copied and rebuilt with modern construction methods?
Yeah, but nobody cares
I've wondered the same thing!! I hope they are
Here's one. It's "as built" so includes a couple of later modifications. www.loc.gov/resource/hhh.il0985.sheet/?sp=6
I think the Library of Congress has a lot more.
Stanford University keeps drawings of every house on campus (because they own the land, and lease the rights to the homeowners for a dollar per year) so they have the Hanna House originals.
winnipeg has a good number of prairie school-influenced houses along balmoral street from broadway south to mostyn place. 1 block. i like them but not as much as i love my gothic arches.
Does someone knows the names of the last two houses showed in the video?
search - Edna S. Purcell house (now known as the Purcell-Cutts House) in Minneapolis MN (next to last house)
search - Harry S. Adams House. 710 Augusta Street, Oak Park (last house)
@@darwinmcquerter7463 Thank you!
did one i think for architecture school assignment if that was the one forget name.
Good stuff
You quite incorrectly politicized the Prairie School by your post WWI comment. Your point is way off. With the women’s movement, ie; voting rights etc. at the time, women became more active in home decisions. The ladies preferred historic styles, not the masculinity of the prairie buildings. Men abdicated.
this be putting me to sleep
