Frank Lloyd Wright's Architecture and Japanese Influence
[ send me this essay ]
This 12 page report discusses the similarities between the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and the architecture of Japan. Wright's most essential concepts were of comfort and livability, open and interesting spaces and plenty of natural light, as well as a conscious integration of the natural elements that are elemental to the human organism. Innovation, incorporation, and 'flow' are not just part of Japanese architecture but of Japan itself. Colors, shapes, even its pattern of light and darkness reflect an innate interconnectedness with nature in the designs of Wright as much as in Japanese design. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
