"Frank Lloyd Wright and the Meaning of Materials"

Key Points and Notes from the reading:

• Wright "preferred to express the essence of the machine in plain flat surfaces"
• So was Wright concerned about the conservation of wood? I'm assuming sustainability wasn't a huge issue of concern back then
• Wright managed to arrange shingles in a manner that they wouldn't appear as their rectangular shape but instead made them seem linear
• "structural  wood's 3D and periodic placement would tend to interrupt the visual flow that was so important to plasticity."
• Wright believed that carving and extensive woodwork was "buthery and botchwork."
