THANK YOU for watching everyone! 😍 Most importantly, thank you for your comments and suggestions. 👍 If you enjoyed this video then check out our full playlist here 👉 ruclips.net/p/PLbl448Ddn1c1QIc0EE9L-5vxHqX5SsptT - HAVE a GREAT WEEK! *STAY SAFE out there*!
You have a significant error in this video - early in the video you say "after attending the prairie school of architecture" - there is no such "school" and he never graduated college.
At the age of 16, I saw the Frank Lloyd Wright home in Buffalo and it inspired me to become the artist I am today. I am the only Art Deco Constructivist in Canada today.
It's great to be inspired. Good luck with your future!!!
I watch almost every FLW video that pops up on my RUclips page and don't regret watching a single one of them. He made so many masterpieces.
What a *MASTER DESIGNER* I just absolutely love his designs over his 70 year career. He would design most buildings in his mind. Sometimes for months and was known to sit down and draw the design out at the last minute just before his customers grew upset waiting. Drawings so elaborate that they would apologize thinking that he had been working away on their plans for months. But he had been, in his head.
All 15 are my favorites.
Falling water is his best known work I like it no only for it's beauty but the engineering of the house
My favorite Wright buildings are the ones I've been able to see and visit: Fallingwater, Taliesin West, The Marin Co Civic Center, The Guggenheim, Pope-Leighy House, Morris Gift Shop (SF, CA) and especially the Imperial Hotel which in 1960 I had the incredible good luck to stay in, and witness a Japanese style wedding in the Peacock Room.
You're so lucky 🤩 What was the reason behind the demolition?
@@BecauseIm_Irene -- oddly enough, I just commented on this earlier today on another video:
"I was lucky enough to visit the Meiji Mura Museum outside of Nagoya and have afternoon tea in the restored lobby of the Imperial Hotel (sitting on Wright-designed furniture and dining on china he designed) overlooking the sea, in 1992. The hotel survived the 1923 earthquake due to its unique foundation that allowed it to "float" on the marshy soil -- it only began to sink when surrounding high-rises disturbed the water table. It is said the Japanese so respected the building that is was broom cleaned prior to demolition."
Did you know he made a house for the Hagan family not too far from Falling Water called Kentuck Knob?
I've been inside nine of the fifteen and given tours at several. All are certainly memorable, and it's hard not to call any of these "Iconic," but once you've visited the Guggenheim Museum in NYC, you'll never forget that experience for the rest of your life.
Amazing! The Avery Cooney House is one of my favourites. I love his furniture designs too. I love how he incorporated a lot of natural beauty, especially wood into his designs. I also love the Asian influence. In my opinion, his designs are the most beautiful.
I have read somewhere that Wright even designed some dresses of his wives. The man was an ubiquitous genius!
Fantastic video. Thanks for making it and sharing.
Falling Water is a slice of heaven.....A "Must See"
I could watch these videos over and over . Have seen some of his houses in person. he was so talented!!!
The Darwin Martin house is about 1/4 mile from the Olmsted designed Delaware Park in Buffalo. When I first saw the Martin house in the late 80’s it was in disrepair. All the outbuildings were gone. There was a 1950’s style apartment building behind the house. A very old lady was there and she told me a little history of the place. I’m so glad it was restored.
The man was brilliant. I really love how he designed EVERYTHING in many of these structures... the furniture, doors, area rugs, landscaping - - everything - - - such an inspiration! Also love how he incorporated them naturally into the natural surroundings - - including the use of colors, materials, patterns... just spectacular - - wish I could live in a house like one of these!
(And I kept thinking - - why would Japan demolish such a monumental hotel ???)
Each design more astounding and gorgeous than the last. What a GENIUS
Wright was a legend in his own mind, but "Wrightfully" so.
I love the curves, art deco type furniture, and the way the whole house is art. Beautiful.
I totally agree!
The Falling Water House ❤
What an amazing mind!! His buildings show a great imagination!! I liked #3!!!!!
What a trip! My God what an Avant Garde artist, genius. I have see 3 structures that I was not privy of. A real treat, thank you!
The Johnson Wax office building and the Imperial Hotel should have been listed in the top 15.
Loved this. Thanks.
I cant believe the Johnson Wax Tower and Office Complex are not included.
To understand the man's genius and impact on Architecture especially over 100 years ago, it would be like someone arriving from 500 years in the future today and designing buildings from that span of time. Shocking.
I am in the UK, but went to New York in 2018. Guggenheim museum was on my to see list, tried to visit only to find it closed on Thursdays. I never got the chance to visit unfortunately.
All are my favorite.
1:24 Darwin D. Martin House is amazing!
the house hat was in blade runner was my fav
What a genius!
There are more then 15. You need to include Johnson's Wax Admin and research Tower, Price Tower, Robie House, Unity Temple, Greek Orthodox Church and Taliesin West.
The Robie House is indeed included by mistake @ 17:20 in the 9th item, The Avery Coonley House.
Dorothy H. Turkel home is beautiful too…
This very well done video is what all should be: informative and interesting.
Wright's is epic, monumental American Architecture and these buildings you selected to discuss are great examples. Perhaps the top thing I appreciate about F.L. Wright's homes and buildings and occasional skyscrapers is the geometric and physics science of it all; of course it works beautifully in terms of aesthetics, too, but it's really the geometric and physics science; which is not true in all buildings old or modern, not even those that are celebrated as worthy architecture; at least not to the impressive and useful extent of Wright's great architectural creations. The Guggenheim might be my favorite in its curvaceous sacred geometry as we should use this central form more for homes, office complexes, state buildings, etc. Ironically, the thing it might not be ideal for is an art museum, as for this(I attend and adore art museums all my life,) is expansive rectangular halls full of diverse, wondrous art leading to more of the same, elevators more of the same; you don't want art patrons to be nervous even slightly or have to pay much attention to walking with the curve of the hallway; they must focus on the art instead and their thoughts and socializations about It.
I am from Ft Worth, and we were fortunate to have several homes there designed by FLW. He was a genius. A visionary. I appreciated that his designs were totally unique, didn’t build on the “status quo,” but rather he developed totally new looks and interiors.
Love the architecture of Wright. Also a favorites are projects by Aldon Dow, and Faye Jones.
The level of detailing in the facade it is almost classical, the composing of the materials and the color schemes what a master
I always wanted to live in Falling Water. Since I was a little girl.
Thank you for a great video. We are fortunate to live not that far from Oak Park, and show of the great place to our friends when we have visitors.
Great work of a genius that definitely needs to be preserved for generations to come.
Would be nice to watch a video about the work and life of famous Louis Henry Sullivan, whose work was impressive and breathtaking.
Some of the work was destroyed, who knows why...and we have only ornaments at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Looking forward to other video to enhance the knowledge of great works.
Magnifique.
I enjoyed you video. I had a paper route in Fox Point Wi in the 90's. One of my homes was a wright design on Barnett lane. I believe 7111 and have seen it was donatd to the state or something.
It was long and had the manyof the narrolw winndows to capture the light.
I enjoyed watching the sun come up while delivring the paper. Lake Michigan is such a beeautiful area.
I think Andelman owned it when I delivred it.
*_Frank Lloyd Wright was a Rebel and fought against the Status Quo. His 'brand' of Architecture was 'Honest'._*
Wright used material, both man-made and natural, very honestly. He never 'hid' form or function in any of his designs. Because of this use of materials, all his designs not only fit the client's needs, but also fit within nature. Wright was famous for his 'out of the box' thinking. At times, he was so far ahead in his designs some took years to be fully appreciated. Under his leadership he trained many student of architecture who also left their own mark in very functional and beautiful architecture.
*_Just the mention of Frank Lloyd Wright is enough to evoke thoughts of his grandest design... Falling Water._*
FLW did not attend the Prairie School of Architecture. The Prairie school is not a university or college. It is a style, of architecture that Frank Lloyd Wright helped create.
Im becoming obsessed with him!....i didnt know i was into architecture to this extent..
Get a monocle for that "Mind's Eye"!
This was simply a wonderful video and I thank you very much for that! May I offer you some suggestions? A video about the Usonian Houses. That would be another superb video, as well as one about the houses he built for himself (Taliesin East, Taliesin West), the Hanna House, the Price Tower and the Johnson home, ("Spreadeagle House, if I rememberit right.) Thank you very much!
My favorite is the: Millard House and Studio, 1923-26 - Architects: Frank Lloyd Wright (house) and Lloyd Wright (studio) Just stunning. Maybe youican do another video with that house and some of his Usonium houses!
when I retire, a US road trip to see all is the plan! Love! I have a architecturally designed house of FLW influence. Lintel stones and the works! I embrace the form follows function...his works are amazing!
Interesting choice for his 15 most iconic designs.
FLW didn't go to architecture school at all. He studied civil engineering briefly at Univeristy of Wisconsin but did not complete a degree. I guess you could say he FOUNDED the Prarie School of Architecture (not an actual school, but a philosophy or ideology).
6:59 Not surprising his work is gaspingly breathtaking 💕👏🏾💕
His work is amazing; however, when you see something every day you tend to forget the beauty and wonder of the architecture. I didn't enjoy the buildings as much when I was an undergraduate student at FSC, but I was there for the water dome's opening night in 2007. That was truly a wonderful sight to see!
Wright did not "attend the Prairie School of Architecture". He developed the design concept and established the movement.
My favorite is the La Miniatura Millard house in Pasadena, Ca. He built it on the other side of her property on the side with the swamp. Because of this, it is the most fascinating and comforting looking house FLW designed.
Sheer GENIUS
Thanks.
O conjunto de edifícios da SCJohnson, incluindo a Mansão da Família, deveria estar nessa lista com destaque.
2:15 "Did you know" that, in one phase of the planning of "Falling Water," it was considered to be sheathed in GOLD LEAF?!
I once read a book about FLW in high school, and it showed a beautiful (captionless) sketch of the Martin House, but the text was about the Winslow House from the page before. It took years to find the name and location of the Martin House. And then I found that it was a straight up compound. Mind blown.
Awesome, I would like to see the hHana house
The Avery Coonley house is my favorite.
Mr. Wright is one of my favourite designers. I wish you would have slowed down and show us more about the buildings. Have a slow walk through. I want to learn more about the design of the synagogue. Maybe the Seth Peterson house could be a bed and breakfast? A stay in history? Did Mr. Wright design any buildings in Canada? Also please check out Canadian Douglas Cardinal. Also Arcosanti. Thank you. My favourite is Falling Water House.
Thank you. About half of them I'd never seen- one, I've been in (the Marin county building) . 500 plus- how many are still standing?
Favorite is Falling Water
The FLW-designed plantation in South Carolina is also quite interesting.
Like the tiny Peterson house
Many people feel that $23 million is a low price for the number choice on this list. Not only is it beautiful, but millions and millions of dollars were spend on its near perfect restoration.
OMG! Have department store garages become fashionable?
Visited several of FLW’s homes,never tire of seeing them...Taliesin West,The Martin House- The Gardner’s Cottage there is unique,Grey Cliff,Falling water,Arizona Biltmore
The Biltmore was not built by wright.... ...a fan of his built it.
Sorry, the Biltmore is a Wright design even though he is not the architect of record. Cheers. M.C.
wow
In the question of which of the Wright houses/bldgs I like best:- For me it is the Spiral house I think #3 that he designed for his son David.
I would bet it was also Fibonacci.
.
The Imperial Hotel in Tokyo didn't make the list?
So, just out of curiosity, how far back would Kentuck Knob fall? Possibly somewhere between 16 and 20?
I really enjoyed this video. Personally, I have visited nine out of the fifteen and had the pleasure of being a docent at Hollyhock House. I did notice the quick cameo of the Robie House within the Coonley House segment. Oops!
The auditorium at Arizona State University
I think the Az had some of FLW’s decorative blocks
Ricky Martin did a music video in the Ennis house in the late '90s.
L 'opera più originale,armonizzata nell'ambiente : evidente e nello stesso tempo nascosta, è "la casa sul fiume"
He never went to the Prairie School of Architecture.. as a FLW enthusiast I thought that was hilarious
True that. Not sure how the writer mixed this up. He was a leader of the Prairie School architectural movement and developed the concept of the Usonian home.
This is a good video to introduce FLW to people not familiar with him. Some obvious omissions are the Johnson Wax buildings in Racine Ws. and all of the various Usonian designs that were really his most effective designs. Wait...i forgot an important one, oops- the fabulous Robie House on the south side suburban Chicago. P.S. too bad the Midway Gardens - outside Chicago are gone. Might be his most spectacular one of all. Cheers. M.C.
@@MindsEyeMedia FLW was a draftsman and never attended Architecture School
Not sure how heh ? I'll tell you then : this 'Mind eye' is COCKED, thats how. And since we are on the subject, FLlW did not 'develop the concept'. he CREATED it, from the whole cloth ! Develop indeed !
After watching this...and hearing the "Prairie School" comment....and seeing numerous buildings misrepresented, it would seem that the Mind's Eye video folks would do well to correct their errors and reissue this video. Take the opportunity to improve your research and scholarship, and to educate the public with correct information!
I really like how the facade built, i wanna request zaha hadid please
ruclips.net/video/zzq6A1UjrTY/видео.html Here you go.
He attended the "Prairie School of Architecture"? No such institution existed. The Prairie School is just a name for an architectural movement.
Right.
The Ennis house was in the movie 'The House on Haunted Hill', with Vincent Price. Just the exterior.
Graycliff was built with the one requirement that he ignored at the Martin's main home in Buffalo: no large overhangs to block light. Mrs. Martin had a vision problem and was unhappy with what Wright did at the first home. Not sure how friendly they really were at the end. Wright borrowed $80,000 but refused to pay it back even when Darwin Martin was going broke during the Depression. All he gave him was a book of his works! (This is all per a docent on the Darwin Martin House tour.) I'm a bit surprised not to see the Johnson Wax headquarters or their home Wingspread. I remember reading that Wright thought that this home was what he would be remembered for, but it wasn't ready in time for a magazine spread, so Fallingwater was used instead .... and the rest is history!
No mention of the Larkin Administration Building either, Wright’s first commercial commission. It is still regarded as one of the 20 most significant office buildings ever built.
A few errors of facts regarding the Martin House. Darwin died in 1935, not 1951. The house was empty and abandoned from 1937 to 1954. Isabel spent the balance of her life living between Graycliff (on the shore of Lake Erie) and 800 West Ferry, a luxury multistory apartment building her son, Darwin R. Martin built just before the start of the depression.
We've got one n Florida called the Spring House. The preservation group has done nothing with the house for 10 years. All they keep doing is having volunteers pull weeds and trim bushes.
One quirk of Wright was that he was habitually broke. No matter how much he made, he spent. I believe he had some items repossessed. Wright said it stimulated his creativity when he was on his last dollar.
Quite right..seemsFLW & the architect had a dispute over the blocks,the place definitely had FLW’s influence
All I had to see was Fallingwater. I know it is not perfect but my god what a residence.
I could never live there. I could never stay out of the bathroom with all that water running under the house.
Actually it was a summer house for the Kaufmann family who owned a department store in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
@@user-tv3bu9jd3v I know, even more so. Imagine having that as your vacation home during that time. Incredible.
I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall and listened in on who put this list of 15 "most" iconic" together. It's more of a hodgepodge and hardly examples of Wright's most iconic designs save for perhaps a few, like Falling Water, I would have dubbed this presentation as some of the most and LEAST iconic designs by Wright showing some designs that most people probably never heard of. But as a big fan of Wright any presentation is a good thing, indeed!
Falling Water was built in 1936. You could not build a home over a waterfall today.. Too many restrictions form the EPA
Bi lol the video.Any chance of one on the work of Mary Mahoney, wife of Walter Burley Griffin. An architect in her own right she seems to have been forgotten. Even though they both worked for Fra k lolyd Wright prior to starting te
It amazes me when a FLW home sits on the market for years between $1-$2 Million dollars when there are so many people in America that pay that much for homes without the history. Seems like a great investment. If I had the means you can bet I’d snatch one up. Looking at his design of furniture, The Johnson Wax building in Racine WI is very cool. Mr Wright designed 4 different desks just for the employees that had floor space office areas. It is a shame that there is a broker that buys and sells, mostly through auction houses, FLW furniture parted-out from homes and buildings. Understandable if from structures that have met demolition but sad if sold off from existing properties. I’ve always planned (maybe once I retire) to build some of his furniture designs that can be built from a single sheet of 4x8 plywood. I think it could be a hit selling them at a starving artist weekly sale our city does in the warmer months.
I've come to understand that only 1:10 "understand" his works and appreciate. This is perhaps the reason. Many want the "more space and higher ceilings" and more attics to store....junk!
The upkeep is expensive…
Robie House?
You forgot the two Taliesins?
If you want to understand what architecture is, visit Falling Water!
Don 't drink any iced tea or you'll have a urological emergency.
Hi I’m the visitor center manager at Beth Sholom. The plans you have up are not our plans. They are from another Beth Sholom.
the Freeman house in Hollywood
I know this video is your opinion of the building rankings, but to put Falling Water and the Guggenheim so low on your list is very surprising. In my opinion, the Guggenheim should be #1 and Falling Water #2. You also didn't mention Taliesin West.
The worship of the grotesque malformity of Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings never fails to amaze and amuse me.
Seems a picture of Robie house slipped in there.
What? Why wasn't the original Imperial Hotel in Tokyo included. I'd put it in the top 5 Frank Lloyd Wright buildings if not in fact #1. Unfortunately it was torn down and no longer exists, but there's an exact replica of the bar next to the modern Imperial Hotel.
Actually, Wright’s Imperial Hotel is the second Imperial Hotel. It was built to replace the first one that was demolished for the lot space. The third Imperial Hotel now stands where Wright’s was, which was demolished in 1967/68.
A FLW designed GAS STATION exists in Cloquet, MN, close to Duluth. Imagine that! Not used for that purpose anymore. On the registry. The pumps located under a long, triangular, upward sloping overhang!
I need 28m so I can be the new caretaker of the Ennis House.
You'd be buying a money pit. Not a good idea.
how about taleasin house..??
OK What about Le Corbusier?
