Out here in Maricopa County Arizona, the older locals say that Frank Lloyd Wright was testifying at a lawsuit trial in downtown Phoenix and one attorney asked him if he was the Greatest Architect in the World to which he replied "Yes." It was a long drive back to his Scottsdale home and, by the time he arrived there, his wife had heard some drive time radio disk jockeys joking about his testimony on the air. When confronted my Mrs. Wright about his blatant show of arrogance, Mr. Wright replied, "Sweetheart, I was under oath."

I still cannot believe this man was building houses like this in the 1920s he was so ahead of his time

One thing that I know by way of my Grandfather, who was very much inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, was that window placements in these sorts of houses were often designed with the seasons in mind. Putting smaller windows up higher and under overhangs results in the sun shining directly in during the winter months, when the sun is lower, and then the direct sunlight would be blocked off during the summer months when the sun is higher. This all means that the house is naturally warmer in winter and naturally cooler in summer. It's all really quite extraordinary.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s work still looks modern. What an achievement!
@adhitiyadwi4203
Penetrating lights trough holes on the wall is indeed is a very magnificent and organic form of art in architecture. As a person who works in this field i sometimes spend so much times in Sketchup (the app they used in the video) just to admire the pattern of the shadow created by the technique. Really bring sense of time and place and life to the building.

I've lived in a house for the last two years that is like a cave. It's trapped in other houses and the way the light travels in, it's always super dark. Wright has got a point that light is an essential component to building design. A problem that can't just be solved with fixtures.

They are called Jaalis in India...Perforated high windows, some even elaborately carved are such an integral part of a lot of traditional architecture. A lot of Indian palaces have elaborately carved privacy windows on upper floors meant for inhabitants to watch processions and festivals in the street while keeping their privacy and security. In South India where the traditional architecture called Naalukettu which is very different from North India, the same concept can be seen, as decorative horizontal wooden trails covering the sides of entire height of second floor up to the gabled roofs.

You feel his presence inside his homes. Through his design features, he lives on.

Phil Edwards is really out here doing VRay daylight accuracy checks on 3D designers online. This is the commitment to the investigations I really appreciate. No stock videos, no generalized commentary, nitty gritty - truly interesting topics. Kudos!
@khalilahd.
I just watched a documentary on Frank Lloyd Wright and his talented design. He truly was a visionary and I love that his work still lives on 💛
@Ratok1
I'd be lying if I said I liked his designs, but his use of light was genius. I love all the ideas he combined in his work, like the open floor plan, no curtains, ground heat, minimalism and a general uniqueness in expression and attempt at integration with nature. It all just falls a bit through for me on the execution.
@billvojtech5686
A lot of old architecture, before central heat and air conditioning, used window placement and overhangs that took into account the angle of the sun at different times of the year to bring in heat in the winter and exclude it in the summer. Once central heat and AC became common and fuel was relatively cheap, less attention was paid to orienting the house to the sun.

I had to see a plastic surgeon as a teenager in Kettering, Ohio who's office was a Frank Lloyd-Wright building. It was amazing inside!
@chadialhajkadour7198
The first time I heard of Frank Lloyd was back in the 90s, it was an article about the waterfall house in the Arabic edition of scientific American, and ever since I'm in love with every design I've seen. Years later I moved to the US and living in Wisconsin his home state. Frank Lloyd is undoubtedly one of the greatest architects of all times, if not the greatest of them all!
@vicebora8916
As an architect, I am inspired by his works.
@evanlucas8914
If you're looking for more of this special design, look up one of Wright's most famous designs; Falling Water. It's this beautiful small house right on the edge of a waterfall. It blends so beautifully with the falls and the surrounding hillside. There's tons of windows and decking that pull occupants outside while also bringing some of the outside in.
@ZeacorZeppelin
Frank Lloyd Wright is my favorite architect. When I was in Art and Design high-school my teacher Miss. Buerger had this massive book about Falling waters and it was my favorite book.
@WillHellmm
I grew up in the Chicago Area and always loved the Frank Lloyd Wright homes. My dad and I would drive all over looking at them. I do love me some Prarie homes!
@pssurvivor
Houses in the Indian state of West Bengal traditionally had those perforated windows at the top of the room, i always found them charming as a kid
