Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect born in 1867 who is considered one of the greatest architects of all time. He developed an organic style of architecture that aimed to harmonize structures with humanity and nature. Some of his most important works included Prairie style homes with low horizontal forms blending into the landscape, and public buildings like the Larkin Administration Building which pioneered innovations like air conditioning and suspended toilets. His Unity Temple, built in 1906, is considered one of his masterworks and one of the first modern buildings for its consolidation of aesthetic intent and structure through reinforced concrete. Wright designed over 1,000 structures in his career which demonstrated his mastery of form and integration of buildings with their surroundings.
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.

Antonio Sant'Elia was an Italian architect and a key member of the Futurist movement in architecture. He left behind almost no completed works of architecture and is primarily remembered for his bold sketches and influence on modern architecture.
We tried to explain about Frank Lloyd Wright and his Design Philosophy and prominent design styles adopted in their building designs.

This research gives an overall idea about the late 18th century's Modernism period in the architecture and interior design field. It also talks about some of the famous design pioneers of that time.
Louis i kahn
Born February 20, 1901 on Saaremmaa Island in Kuressaare.
Kahn's Jewish parents immigrated to the United States in 1906.
His given name at birth was Itze-Leib Schmuilowsky but was changed upon arrival in the US.
Kahn's architecture is notable for its simple, platonic forms and compositions.
Through the use of brick and poured-in place concrete masonry, he developed a contemporary and monumental architecture that maintained a sympathy for the site.
While rooted in the International Style, Kahn's architecture was an amalgam of his Beaux Arts education and a personal aesthetic impulse to develop his own architectural forms.
Kahn received the AIA Gold Medal in 1971 and the RIBA Gold Medal in 1972.
Louis Kahn is considered one of the foremost architects of the late twentieth century.
On March 17, 1974, he died of a heart attack in a men's restroom in Pennsylvania Station in New York City.
Education/ Occupation
He attended the University of Pennsylvania and received his Bachelors degree in architecture at the age of 24.
After college, he worked as a senior draftsman in the office of Philadelphia City Architect John Molitor.
To find his inspiration, he traveled through Europe visiting castles and medieval strongholds in 1928, only 4 years after graduating.
He finally started his own firm in 1935.
While he still designed and worked as a design critic on the side, Louis became a professor of architecture at Yale school of Architecture.
Personal designs
Kahn created many unique an intricate buildings, but among his most memorable were…
* The Yale University Art gallery: 1951.
* The Jonas Salk institute for Biological Studies: 1965
* The Margaret Esherick house: 1961
* The National Assembly building: 1962

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. •An American architect, Interior designer,
writer and educator
Born on June 8,1867
In Richland center ,Wisconsin
• After working as a draftsman in Joseph
Lyman Silsbee office and as a co-architect
with adler and Sullivan he established his
own firm in Chicago.
He designed more then 1000 structures
and completed 500 works.
He believed In designing structures which
are harmony with humanity and its
environment , a philosophy called organic
architecture
• Died on April 9,1959 In Phoenix, Arizona

Surroundings
Strong Horizontal Lines
Hidden Entries
4. Prairie houses
Prairie houses were characterized by low,
horizontal lines that were meant to blend with
the flat landscape around them.
Typically, these structures were built around a
central chimney, consisted of broad open
spaces instead of strictly defined rooms, and
deliberately blurred the distinction between
interior space and the surrounding terrain.
Wright acclaimed "the new reality that is
space instead of matter" and, about
architectural interiors, said that the "reality of a
building is not the container but the space
within."
6. Some of Wright’s earliest homes are in Oak
Park. They show a blend of Victorian and
Prairie School elements. These are
sometimes called “bread and butter” houses.
7. Mr. Wright's "organic architecture" was a radical
departure from the traditional architecture of his day,
which was dominated by European styles that dated back
hundreds of years or even millenia.
While most of his designs were single-family homes his
varied output also includes houses of worship,
skyscrapers, resorts, museums, government offices, gas
stations, bridges, and other masterpieces showing the
diversity of Frank Lloyd Wright's talent.

Horizontal line is the line of domesticity
24. •The projecting cantilevered roof eaves,
continuous bands of art-glass windows, and the
use of Roman brick emphasize the horizontal,
which had rich associations for Wright.
•To further emphasize the horizontal of the bricks,
the horizontal joints were filled with a creamcolored mortar and the small vertical joints were
filled with brick-colored mortar. From a distance,
this complex and expensive tuck pointing creates
an impression of continuous lines of horizontal
color and minimizes the appearance of individual
bricks.
25.
26. •The design of the art glass windows is an
abstract pattern of colored and clear glass using
Wright's favorite 30 and 60-degree angles.
• Wright used similar designs in tapestries inside the
house and for gates surrounding the outdoor spaces
and enclosing the garage courtyard.
• Robbie's generous budget allowed Wright to design a
house with a largely steel structure, which accounts for
the minimal deflection of the eaves. The planter urns,
copings, lintels, sills and other exterior trim work are of
Bedford limestone.
34. •The Larkin Building was designed in 1904
and built in 1906 for the Larkin Soap Company
of Buffalo, New York .
• The five story dark red brick building used
pink tinted mortar and utilized steel frame
construction.
•It was noted for many innovations, including
air conditioning, stained glass windows, builtin desk furniture, and suspended toilet bowls.
• Sculptor Richard Bock provided
ornamentation for the building.
•Located at 680 Seneca Street, the Larkin
Building was demolished in 1950.
35. Exterior details of the 200-footlong (61 m) by 134-foot-wide
(41 m) building were executed
in red sandstone; the entrance
doors, windows, and skylights
were of glass.
Floors, desktops, and cabinet
tops were covered with
magnesite for sound
absorption. For floors,
magnesite was mixed with
excelsior and poured, and
troweled like cement, over a
layer of felt to impart its
resiliency.
36. Magnesite was also used for
sculptural decoration on the
piers surrounding the light
court and for panels and
beams around the executive
offices at the south end of the
main floor. Wright designed
much of the furniture.
The interior walls were made
of semi-vitreous, hard, cream
colored brick. A 76-foot-tall
(23 m) light court was located
in the center of the building
which provided natural
sunlight to all of the floors
40. Unity Temple is considered to be
one of Wright's most important
structures dating from the first
decade of the twentieth century.
Because of its consolidation of
aesthetic intent and structure
through use of a single material,
reinforced concrete, Unity
Temple is considered by many
architects to be the first modern
building in the world.
This idea became of central
importance to the modern
architects who followed Wright,
such as Mies Van Der Rohe, and
even the post-modernists, such
as Frank Gehry .
41. To accommodate the needs of the congregation,
Wright divided the community space from the
temple space through a low, middle loggia that
could be approached from either side. This was
an efficient use of space and kept down on noise
between the two main gathering areas: those
coming for religious services would be separated
via the loggia from those coming for community
events.
This design was one of Wright's first uses of a
bipartite design: with two portions of the
building similar in composition and separated by
a lower passageway, and one section being
larger than the other. The Guggenheim Museum
in New York City is another bipartite design.
42.
43. •To reduce noise from the
street, Wright eliminated
street level windows in the
temple. Instead, natural light
comes from stained glass
windows in the roof and
clerestories along the upper
walls
44. The main floor of the temple is accessed via a lower floor
(which has seating space), and the room also has two
balconies for the seating of the congregation. These varying
seating levels allowed the architect to design a building to fit
the size of the congregation, but efficiently: no one person
in the congregation is more than 40 feet from the pulpit .
Wright also designed the building with very good acoustics .
