GIS Mapping

For each building I plan to document some of the features that define the buildings as Wright’s Prairie style. For instance, I will document the use of horizontal lines, cantilevered roofs, glass corners, open spaces, terraces, and a flow with nature. For each building I plan on making one collage with an app on my phone. The collage will show different aspects of the same point on the building. I would also like to document one element of the landscape surrounding the buildings, because Wright’s landscape design seemed to be just as important as his structure design. With the landscape photos I can possibly discuss quotes about Wright’s Organic Design and how it applies to the building.

Some of the quotes I plan on using are as follows:

http://flwright.org/researchandexplore/furnitureanddecorativearts:

 "Incorporating furniture, lighting, and decorative arts into the structure of his buildings enabled Wright to achieve a harmonious and unified interior." 


"Wright’s early oak furnishings, characterized by straight lines and rectilinear forms, are designed with the traditional Arts and Crafts preference for solidity and simplicity."


"Wright’s interiors were further enriched by his innovative use of lighting. "

http://flwright.org/researchexplore/prairiestyle:

"Characterized by dramatic horizontal lines and masses, the Prairie buildings that emerged in the first decade of the twentieth century evoke the expansive Midwestern landscape." 

"...Wright termed “Organic Architecture.” By this Wright meant that architecture should be suited to its environment and be a product of its place, purpose and time."

In addition, I plan on documenting the leaded glass in the library, using and justifying this quote:

"Wright’s light screens illuminated his interiors with natural light, touched by the autumnal dashes of his color palette and animated by his exquisite visual geometries. "
