My grandfather was friends with Anthony Quinn in the 1930s up until his death in 1955. We have a photo and autograph of Wright, Quinn and my grandfather taken in Arizona😅
So timely, my sister and brother in law are in Chicago. They are doing a Frank Lloyd wright tour. One of my favorite of his designs is in Bartlesville Oklahoma. It is his design for a skyscraper (in Oklahoma because the Phillips family funded it ). Oh and it’s so interesting that it is easy in a Frank Lloyd Wright design to spot something that he did not design. Like in Grady Gammage at ASU. There are ramps that were added later for AdA and they stick out like a sore thumb. 👍
Thanks for sharing this, Jocelyn. So interesting and informative. I believe Architecture is so important to our wellbeing and our sense of place and history. I only studied Frank Lloyd Wright briefly at University; and now I feel I want to discover more about this great man ✨👌🙏😊
Yes, please continue. Maybe add a graphic showing how the eves are an intelligent design solution to block summer heat gain but allow winter heat gain. And/or a graphic showing the diamond in the floor plan. A few more quick examples of the repeating diamond motif in the hall lights and red gussets etc. would help people understand the extent to which he repeated these elements in this house. Lastly, at the beginning of your video, a map of the US zooming in to show the location of this house would be appreciated to orient ourselves.
It reminds me of a lot of structures in Maui, HI with the peaked, slanted roof. Even Maui airport is very wooden. We just ha e a lot of wood in the US, very plentiful so it makes sense that many structures of his used wood.
Thank you for this truly wonderful and educational video, Jocelyn. Along with the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wrighy, I've also been intrigued by Buckminster Fuller, too. Both were visionaries in their own right, but the designs by FLW are so cohesive throughout. Thanks again... I look forward to the next one...
My ex-woodworker father has always wanted to put out a T-shirt saying, "Frank Lloyd Wright Left Leaks"; I hear you about the engineering problems in these houses. Thanks for doing this: I hope to see more of these little "diversions" in the future.
Wright definitely had a style. If you had filmed in some of the buildings at Florida Southern College where he designed the whole original campus and cut them in, one might not even realize it.
I’m not a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright, but House on the Rock in Cross Plains, WI was really fun to visit, but I wouldn’t recommend walking out onto the sky walk if you’re afraid of heights. My mom had a panic attack. When I went 10 years ago, there was also a nesting owl right next to the house on top of a tree, so they blocked off the window leading to the owl. That was the highlight of my visit!
Hey, Mark and Jocelyn. I don't usually comment on your channel, but I enjoy your videos. Mind if you do a video on Santa Claus, Indiana, when you get the chance?
We will get down there I am sure. We have a don'ts of Indiana that will be coning out in a couple months and i just released an "eats of indiana" video on our wolters world eats channel today
Sorry, the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Marin County Civic Center is truly a dystopian counter-beauty eyesore. It's on par with the awful buildings in the 1970s Planet of the Apes movie, set prior to Humanity's demise.
I respectfully disagree, on my last trip to the area I made it a point to stop in that building and walk around a while. It does reflect his interest in using arches and round shapes which he did later in his career. Interestingly, it's the only government building he designed that was actually built. There was a lot of argument in Marin County on whether it should be done so you're not alone in your thoughts.
It's not for everyone, you do you. That's roughly what I tell clients as an architect. This is your house you do with it what you want unless you're only going to live here a few years and sell it.
Nicely done Jocelyn, thank you. I didn't realize he had a house in Marion, Indiana and I grew up in Kokomo just to the West and went to Ball State to the South Lol! I'll make it a point to see this. Probably one of Wright's best known quotes explains why he would be difficult to work with, but why we also remember him and why his detailing was so amazing: "Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose honest arrogance and have seen no occasion to change."

Nice job Jocelyn❤ very intriguing.
Thanks!
Both of yall are able to keep a video good till the end! Look forward to the next one
Thank you!
I have just begun my research of FLW and would definatley enjoy more videos from you guys on his work!
She is experimenting with architectural history videos and plans on making more of these videos on FLW homes.

Thank you, Jocelyn! Taking a Frank Lloyd Wright tour is on our to-do list. I didn't know he did any middle class homes.
We love you guys. Thanks for your videos, we always learn something interesting! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!

Jocelyn's dad studied under buckminster fuller, he tells stories about his time with him. small world.
More, please. Thank you.

I live in Bartlesville Oklahoma where you’ll find the Price Tower touted as Frank Lloyd Wright’s only skyscraper. It’s pretty fascinating.

Im sorry for your mom. That is not a fun experience.
That was not designed by FLW.
Yay! FLW is my absolute favorite.
Also so excited to find a fellow architecture nerd - I would LOVE to see more of this!!!!!
Thanks, Jocelyn - very interesting and well explained.
Unique. I like how the windows let in all that light. I enjoyed this video. 😊❤

Please continue with the architectural series. I gained knowledge, and enjoyed it. Thank you, Wally
she has a playlist on our wolters world shorts channel. i have a link for it in the description of the video
I like his architecture, but my favorite architect is Frank Gehry.
he does have some cool designs
That bathtub was cool
Wonderful video Jocelyn and would love to see more of these types of videos.
Thanks John!
So interesting
Enjoyed very much😊😊Great video
thank you
Fascinating!
Cheers All
well hello there stranger! i hope you are doing well!

oh, i don't think all his work is fantastic (though i believe he did ;)
I love the wood but so sorry I don’t like the design. What is wrong with me!
It's not for everyone, you do you. That's roughly what I tell clients as an architect. This is your house you do with it what you want unless you're only going to live here a few years and sell it.
he is not for everyone. it was cool staying htere, but i would not have wanted to live there.

He was honest and arrogant that is for sure 😀
