Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright was a well established American architect who created around 1000 structures. In particular (below) the building fits well within it's surroundings making it apart of nature.

'Buildings designed by him to complement the environment, they are not perceived as a closed space, but as a place in harmony with nature harmoniously.' (Maryana, 2012)

On a side note, he was also a keen Japanese wood block painting collector who stored and sold them. I recognise some Japanese influence within his own works as he focuses on using the natural environment to bring the best out of his structures and to curve something organic out from the earth.

 I have looked at his structures because they are a good reference for my first few establishing shots introducing Mazikki's home through two thin belts of trees. The house itself is a bit too grand for an average neglected bungalow, but the overall look of it peeking through the trees gives it mystic effect. Not only this, but the structure and perspective can help me with any technical aspects of the structure I make.

  1. Nice piece of research here Tara. I didn't know of his wood block collecting, but there is a definite Japanese influence in his architecture.
    On Monday I would like to see more visuals development from you.
    Barrie.
