Uncategorized Assignment-helpThis exercise asks you to foreground an analytical approach as you focus attention on a project by Frank Lloyd Wright in his Buildings, Plans, and Designs (published as Wasmuth Volumes, 1910-1911). Through close looking at and careful consideration of the plan and elevation evaluate the character of the design.In the plan:how is space articulated and how do the various zones relate to one another? Has Wright created a particular spatial focus? where is it? what kind of interpersonal/social dynamic does the plan seem to promote?For the elevation: how does the elevation relate to the plan? does its composition logically extend the “footprint” of the plan or is there a disjunction between the two? does the choice of forms or materials convey a message about the building’s occupants or its functions?Finally, consider the way in which Wright presents the building in graphic form. Is there a “visual rhetoric” of Wright’s drawings?
