Explore Wrights world in 3-D with five pop-ups that show his greatest masterpieces.* Each pop-up focuses on a particular work and is accompanied by a detailed history of its planning, design, and current state. Thoughtful text uncovers the social, economic, and cultural influences that shaped Wrights art, while extensive photographs, plans, and drawings illustrate how each project evolved.* Visit the iconic and inspirational Fallingwater, Wrights residential masterpiece, and see how the building epitomizes his theme of harmony with nature. Sitting atop a waterfall, the house appears to grow organically from the site, as if it has always been there.* Youll be impressed with the remarkably modern Robie House, regarded as one of the most significant examples of 20th-century architecture. Designed in the Prairie style, the home follows Wrights concept that “the horizontal line is the line of domesticity.”* Explore other influential Wright works, including the Ennis House, considered to be years ahead of its time, and one of New York Citys most beloved landmarks, the Guggenheim Museum.* Frank Lloyd Wright is still profoundly influential and continues to generate interest and excitement among a wide audience.
