Robie House (a)
| The Frederick C. Robie
House is a master work by the great American architect Frank Lloyd
Wright, and it's the last of his three works that I had long planned
to see in person. Prior to visiting the University of Chicago,
where the early 20th-century structure is located, I had seen and photographed Wright's Fallingwater in southwestern Pennsylvania, and the Guggenheim Museum in New
York City. As someone has pointed out, I'm a big Wright fan.
Of course the comprehensive information on the Robie
House can be found from
Wikipedia,
but the experience of being at the site is something that can't be
had by reading materials. One striking moment for me was when
about to tour the interior of the house, the curator pointed to the
Harper Center (of the Booth School of Business) across the
street, relating the two built almost 100 years apart as "having a
dialogue" in styles. Very interesting. |
