Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio

This guide to the Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio in Oak Park traces the twenty-two-year-old draftsman's own house, built in 1889 with money borrowed from his employer, the architect Louis Sullivan. You'll hear how Wright spent two decades using the house as a laboratory, adding a children's playroom in 1895 and an octagonal drafting studio in 1898, and the question he set himself there: how to hold up a balcony with no columns beneath it. It also names some of the more than one hundred fifty projects drawn in that studio, including the Robie House and Unity Temple.
