Wisconsin ART

2012-2013
ARCHITECT: FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT

Kostyn is one of our language assistants. He is from Wisconsin, USA. I invited him to tell us something about art in his country and he chose a great architect who was born in Wisconsin: Frank Lloyd Wright.

I have to tell you that Lloyd Wright is one of the most admired and studied architects even in our Spanish Architecture Universities. Thanks, Kostyn!.

ACTIVITY

Kostyn prepared an activity for students focusing on what they have learned in the presentation. They had to design a home that connect the building with its natural landcape. They were given four different possible  landscapes (desert, snowy forest, beach and mountains) and these are some of the results:

AMAZING!
