I'm a brazilian architect. Frank Lloyd is the best.
@Chris.Davies
He wasn't just America's best architect. We was, and remains, the greatest architect of all time. Plain and simple.

As a small child in 1960 I saw a black and white photo of Fallingwater in a magazine in England. It stuck in my head for some reason. It took me nearly fifty years to visit, and when I did I realized even a child could see it's simply a perfect place and unforgettably beautiful.

Wright, his life and work, has fascinated me ever since I accidentally discovered the Dana-Thomas house (1902) in Springfield, IL. I was never much of a architecture fan but that house changed my life and from it I developed a huge appreciation for Wright's work. I never thought it possible but his art creates a very emotional reaction in me.

Thank you, this is one of the best summaries of his work I’ve ever seen.

I have been fascinated by architecture and architects for most of my 74 years. My grandfather, Dr. Kurt Meyer Radon, was a prominent architect, first in Germany, before and after WWI and then in Southern California. He knew Wright, along with Neutra, Schindler and Jock Peters. I read many books about Wright, and was particularly taken with a black-and-white photo book of Fallingwater, including scenes from the construction, released in the 1960s. I finally made my pilgrimages to both Taliesin Wisconsin and Fallingwater. We walked down the road from the visitors center, then, suddenly, through the trees, there it was. I first noticed the color- you have to see it with your own eyeballs. No photograph captures it. Second, it seemed smaller than I had pictured it. Third, I "got" the industrial red color of the windows and door frames. The oddest thing was the parapet walls around the cantilevered terraces. The terrance look robust and thick on the outside, but, when you are standing on them, the parapet walls are only about 2' high and rounded on the top. Absolutely terrifying! No way you could sit on the edge and look down at the stream. This is not a house for children.

Had the pleasure of visiting Fallingwater last Summer. It is absolutely breathtaking. Built in 1935 and still looks modern in 2024. Timeless classic. Wright was way ahead of his time.
@sandrakennedy3527
I love all of Frank Lloyd Wrights homes and other buildings. God bless him
@hubertop1247
Thank you for this documentary!
@dedratiger806
In all these documentaries about Frank Lloyd Wright, I’ve never seen Price Tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Price Tower was one of two vertical structures Wright designed. Price Tower is gorgeous and deserves a place in these documentaries more than a brief flash of narrative.

I went on a pilgrimage to his home in Oak park and some of the homes he built near there and at the University in Chicago ! I opened a drawer in his bedroom knowing he at one time had done the same thing ! I could go on and on but WORDS aren't enough to capture his talent which imo came from his spirit and love for the Earth ! A man hundreds of years ahead of his time ! ❤🙏✨🌟
@elisciachristie6984
I honestly never knew the whole history of this man. I just knew when I came across his work in Ohio that it was different. Then I came across a book that had different buildings and homes. It's amazing how certain things just stand out and then come to find out it's famously well known to others. That's the beauty in art. It will stand out all on its own without any words being said.❤

Imagination and hard work brought Frank Lloyd Wright to the pinnacle of his success …ending with the Guggenheim was his greatest achievement….productive till the end…a legacy left for others to be inspired.🏴
@randyrobinson934
As a student of architecture 50 years ago, I spent a summer at Fallingwater. not long enough. Thanks for a great study /refection of Frank Lloyd Wright
@36-777
Thank you for helping create an American style of Architecture. God bless Frank's harmonious work with nature.
@barrywainwright3391
As a big FLLW fan, this is by far the best, most amazing documentary about him.
@donnapalmeri9573
If I could pick one house as my own,it would be "Falling Water". Breathtaking,Beautiful,A Marvelous Feat of Nature Working With Man.
@williambrady323
I've stayed at the park Inn Mason city, Iowa, the last remaining Frank Lloyd Wright designed hotel. Wonderful structure. The rooms themselves are modern, with the exception of one that they kept true to its original. And the Stockman house just down the street from the hotel is also worth seeing. And the entire neighborhood that was designed and built by Wright's students and studies. Magnificent. Again, that was Mason City, Iowa.
@timkdiamond
Superbly made documentary. Completely absorbing.
