Frank Lloyd Wright spent more than 70 years creating designs that revolutionized the art and architecture of the twentieth century. Many innovations in today's buildings are products of his imagination. In all he designed 1141 works - including houses, offices, churches, schools, libraries, bridges, museums and many other building types. Of that total, 532 resulted in completed works, 409 of which still stand. However, Wright's creative mind was not confined to architecture. He also designed furniture, fabrics, art glass, lamps, dinnerware, silver, linens and graphic arts. In addition, he was a prolific writer, an educator and a philosopher. He authored twenty books and countless articles, lectured throughout the United States and in Europe, and developed a remarkable plan for decentralizing urban America (Broadacre City) that continues to be debated by scholars and writers even to this day - decades after its conception.

10. The pan flute music reminds me of that south park episode.
11. There are dozens of buildings shown. Which do you want to know about? Give the times they appear.
12. (4) dressers with 140 holes high, inserting Shipping containers into each hole as housing, using longer containers at corners cantilevfered every few floors for sky-farms.(4) sky-bridges connecting (4) towers as fire escapes. No more 911 ! The housing will be over the high speed railroads, like the Great Wall of China ! That is my new design for World Trade China, Shanghai, China. A lesson from the genius Wright and Corbusier ! George Wu, 2012-7-6
13. The Chinese cantilevered roof has one limitation, that is the scale of a house. Because the technology could allow the cantiliver be limited to a few feet ! But Corbusier liked to stack the boxes up, cutting into the mass to achieve interesting forms & shapes, the stacking volumes could allow Cobu to do multiple dwellings naturally,while Wright would get the boring repetitions instead ! Therefore I tried to use the long span technology rather than the cantilevers as my expression. George Wu, AIA
14. Beautiful video. Please tell us the names of the buildings.
15. I would have loved to see the names and locations of the projects presented.
16. Great slideshow and the music fit perfectly with the images. FLW's buildings are always so well proportioned.
