Frank Lloyd Wright was an influential American architect who designed over 1,000 structures in his unique organic style that harmonized buildings with their natural surroundings. He pioneered the Prairie School and developed concepts like the Usonian home and Broadacre City, a decentralized planned community. Throughout his career, Wright refined his philosophy of organic architecture and trained apprentices at his Taliesin schools to continue spreading his principles of integral and harmonious design.
The famous American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright changed the way we build and the way we live. As an architect, Frank Lloyd Wright was known for many things, but perhaps his most famed characteristic was his exceptional attention to detail – in many of his projects, each furniture piece was designed specifically for its intended location.

STEEL IN ARCHITECTURE-CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTUREMohd Azmatullah
Steel is crucial in development of economy and is considered as backbone of human civilization.
* Important milestones in Architecture was development of iron and steel in construction.
*New Method based in industrialization
DRYCONSTRUCTION, RATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY, RECIYCLING
*Steel buildings and bridges were being built in the latter part of the 19th century and early 20th century during the British era,
*New trend:-
Structural steel selectively used in the construction of high-rise buildings with 2-4/ projects/ year in India, mainly in metropolitan cities those are constrained by limited land availability.
*The evolution of steel frame construction in the 20th century entirely changed the concept of the Wall and the support.
*Steel is typical because of high tensile and compressive strengths
*steel buildings save time and money as compared to conventional building systems.
*Strong internal demand and emphasis on developing infrastructure can be expected to remain the foundation of Economic growth.
Industry and infrastructure segments can be expected, the key demand drivers for steel structures in India over the next 5 years.
*Overall, there is good potential for steel structures in India owing to robust economic growth, increased government spending on infrastructure and change in mindset with regards to use of structural steel in building.
In this class we look at Frank Lloyd Wright's ambition to produce affordable housing through his Usonian houses, and consider Jacobs I and Jacobs II as examples. We then turn to Rudolf Schindler, Richard Neutra, and finally former Bauhaus director Walter Gropius's house in Lincoln, MA.Arch416 class15modernhouses1
We tried to explain about Frank Lloyd Wright and his Design Philosophy and prominent design styles adopted in their building designs.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

10. “Education at Taliesin
would emphasize
painting, sculpture,
music, drama, and dance
in their places as
divisions of
architecture.” - Frank TALIESIN, FARM AND
OUTBUILDINGS
Lloyd Wright (1931). RENDERED BY FRANK
LLOYD WRIGHT (1933)
11. Organic
Architecture
Return from Japan, gave many
lectures and interviews on
architecture.
Began describing what he called,
“Organic Architecture”: The theme for
the rest of his career.
HOUSE RISING OUT OF THE HILL
NATURALLY
OLFELFT HOUSE (1958)
ROUGH ROCK AND CONCRETE BLEND WITH HARSH DESERT
HOUSE SITS ON ROCK “CLIFF” RISING FROM THE ENVIRONMENTS, SLATTED WINDOWS PROTECT FROM HARSH
SEA AND COVERED WITH GREEN CANOPY ROOF SUN.
WALKER HOUSE (1948) TALIESIN WEST
12. How he defined Organic Architecture changed often, as
he refined it, and also as the situation demanded.
•Integral to Site - houses designed to rise up out of the
site as it belonging.
•Integral to environment - built appropriately to climate.
•Integral to Individual - Each building built to
accommodate the lifestyle of the inhabitants way of life
and needs.
•Integral to Materials - details of the building were the
materials themselves
13. “one that is integral to site; integral to environment; integral
to the life of the inhabitants. A house integral
with the nature of materials wherein glass is used as glass,
stone as stone, wood as wood and all the
elements of environment go into and throughout the house.
Into this new integrity, once there, those who live in it will
take root and grow. And most of all belonging to the nature
of its being.” Frank Lloyd Wright
14. Usonian houses
• With the stock-market crash of 1929, Frank Lloyd
Wright turned his interest to low cost housing for
the masses. He called these houses, Usonian,
being of the USA. The first of these was the
Jacob’s house (1936).
• The entire project cost $5,500, this included
Wrights fee of $450. In the next 30 years over 50
houses were built, and a hundred more designed,
on the precepts of the Jacob’s home. These STANDARD USONIAN WALL
SECTION
homes were innovated and ahead of their time, as
Wright created homes to fulfill the needs of a
changing American society. Following the
demands of Organic Architecture, each of the
houses were individual and unique. However,
they did have common elements that united them.
BATTEN BOARD WALLS, CLEARSTORY WINDOWS
AND OVERHANGING, FLAT EAVES DEFINED THE
USONIAN HOUSES
SCHWARTZ HOUSE (1939)
15. Usonian houses
• Designed on a Module system
• Deep Eaves
• Open Plan
• Connection to Nature
• Efficient design of Bedrooms and
Bathrooms
• Passive Heating Economical Materials
16. Usonian Housing Plans
As time passed, Frank Lloyd Wright adapted the Usonian concepts
from the original 2’x’4’ design to six general styles.
DIAGONAL DESIGN

18. Broad acre City
• 1935: took his concepts of
organic design and Usonian
Architecture and applied them
to the design of the new
American city.
• Abandoned the crowded,
unhealthy conditions of the
metropolitan life.
• Each residence was located on
a one acre lot, giving them
lots of space to have a
personal garden and privacy.

19. • The lots were accessed by
arterial roads that connected
to a main highway, which had
a monorail for public
transportation and freight
traffic.
• Public venues such as
government, entertainment,
and recreation were located in
one central location.
• Various townships were
designed and built based on
his ideas.

20. Popular Successes
• During latter years of his life he had become a
household name.
• His plans were published in home and garden
magazines, was interviewed on radio and television.
• Built hundreds of homes and buildings, and preached
constantly the values of Usonian design and Organic
Architecture.
• Two buildings however Stood above the rest in the
minds of the general public that made him the great
American architect.
21. Falling Waters (1935)
•Designed and under construction the same
time the Jacob's house was built there is a
remarkable contrast and similarities to
Wrights Usonian Plan.
•It was ornate, opulent and costly rather than
simple and inexpensive. Both did have open
plans and Falling Water was integral to its site
as a building could be, truly organic.
22. The Guggenheim Museum
• At first glance appears very different in style,
but examination shows a very Organic
Architecture and commonalities to Usonian
houses.
• Based on the Module of the circle similar the
Hemi-circle House. This can be seen in plan,
fencing, dome ceiling, flooring pattern, and
with curving ramps for circulation around
Central, rather than exterior courtyard
