Unique is all you can describe it as, and form fallowed funtion ! It's like the Architecture History classes you take in college watching these videos. Well in school the professor would point out all the details and history! Frank Lord Wright's genius was a gift to us all.
We visited Taliesin in the late 60's. Just walked right in. We didn't pay any admission. Someone showed us around a little, but otherwise left us to our own devices. I believe they still were working in the drafting room. Beautiful then as is now! Have since enjoyed visiting many of his creations over the years. Oak Park, first home/studio, Unity Church Chicago, Greek Orthodox Church Wi, Madison Wi Unitarian Church, Madison Monona Terrace civic center, area homes, Johnsons Wax Administration headquarters and Wingspread Racine Wi, Kentuck Knob and Fallingwater Penn, Guggenheim NYC, Marin County Civic Center California. That's all I can remember now!
I love his architectural vocabulary, as it were. You can see, if you pay attention, fallingwater and the Martin house and even John lautners personal home in Los Angeles hills.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video and beautiful music. I think Mr. Wright would approve. I shall never get to to see this lovely home so I am very grateful your posting. Have toured Taliesin West. It was nice, but these lush, green surroundings make this magnificent.
Well done Chris JH and an excellent choice of music. I remember the first time I walked in the living room and experienced that space and sat near the fireplace. I wept out of pure joy.
Thanks for a very tasteful presentation. We need a massive dose of FLW architecture in the U.K. for people to start looking outward through windows made possible by load-bearing in the centre of each building.
seems to be in a state of disrepair or neglect. I'm surprised, is not still a working school? And was that a working (or formerly) gas pump by the garage? Thanks for posting, but a little sad to see.
MrSnickster Wright was a genius but his buildings were made in a way that makes them very hard to maintain. He really pushed the limits of the available materials and considering the fire that destroyed a large portion of the main house it looks pretty good.
We went through the year before last so 2015 & it seemed like they were updating quite a bit of it at that time but yes, it is still used also as a school, we were there end of October & they were getting at that time to 'winterize' & head for Arizona until Spring.

Yes it is. It was the mistress he left his wife for & staff & I think some of her kids? But yes, someone they had fired blocked all but one exit, started a fire then killed them as they came out that only accessable escape. ruclips.net/video/3PijyKqmO_g/видео.html
It’s a common problem with Wright. He did think about drain solutions and tried to come up with systems that wouldn’t impede his design but often those systems didn’t work as intended or failed over time.
Nothing compares to that architecture today. The work of a genius !
My wife and I toured Shining Brow on our 1st anniversary. Nine months later on May 31 1981 we welcomed our first born. Very inspirational!
The scenery and the background music are perfectly integrated, so feel so comfortable.

As they say, "The stroke of genius". Words alone cannot describe the beauty of this house. It's complicated, yet simplistic.
Perfect choice of music

B Stone thank you so much for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Beautiful landscape. Lovely building.
Stunningly beautiful.
I always detect a flavour of the Scottish designer Mckintosh in F L Wrights work.
The video is splendid, the architecture wonderful and the third movement of Beethoven' Ninth Symphony just perfect! Thanks a lot!

OMG...!!!! oh por Dios este video es una joya..!!! al fin algo de Taliesin east...!!!!!! thanks for sharing...!!!!!!!
His fixtures, furniture and lamps were amazing. He could have made a fortune just off of that.
Thank you very much for this well done video.
Japanese/Italian/Spanish style perfection.
I havent seen an architech today that has measured up. Wright used top notch materials and craftsman. Today it is nothing but spit and sawdust
His materials would cost an arm and a leg today. Most of the woods he used are highly endangered.
A hint of sadness in this retrospective tour. Too bad this beauty, harmony and balance isn't reflected more in out lives today.
That stonework is beautiful

Thank you for Highlighting my comment. I love Frank L. Wright's buildings.🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹🌹
It is well over 100 years since it was rebuilt after a major fire. Its not going to look like new construction. Like patina on a valuable antique.

Very nice job putting this together!!
Schedule your visit. Tours can be full. I was lucky on one visit and grabbed last ticket.

Magnificent!
Does anyone know who designed wrights garden Statuary?
please could you film another about Wingspred...!!!!!!!??? with that quality and lenght...!!!
Isn't this where his family and staff were massacred?
Yes it is. It was the mistress he left his wife for & staff & I think some of her kids? But yes, someone they had fired blocked all but one exit, started a fire then killed them as they came out that only accessable escape.

Why does every Wright ceiling have water stains?
It’s a common problem with Wright. He did think about drain solutions and tried to come up with systems that wouldn’t impede his design but often those systems didn’t work as intended or failed over time.
Using flat roofs didnt help and water would form as puddles and would seep inside. Wright designs often had drainage problems
@@routepluto1983 Wrong.
Esta es la casa donde mataron a la esposa ?
Como para pedir ayuda, ningun vecino alrededor, totalmente aislados
We called her Jennifer a Celtic
