Frank LLoyd Wright:
architecture oF
the interior
March 15 - May 8, 2013
This exhibition of drawings of interiors,
furnishings, and household objects offers
a view into Frank Lloyd Wright’s creative
conception of the interior spaces of his
houses. In Wright’s house designs, structure
and ornament are one. Every feature
of the house — from the overall structure,
to the interior, down to the smallest details
and objects — was conceived by Wright
from the beginning as a single idea.
Wright’s approach to visual enrichment
as “organic ornament” grew out of his
belief that the visual character of a form —
whether an entire house or a lampshade
— is integral to the structure of the object.
Exploring the distinctive visual, sensory,
and expressive quality of Wright’s interiors,
Frank Lloyd Wright: Architecture of the
Interior reveals how the architect’s distinctive
abstract and geometric structures
permeate the spaces and objects within.
