Coming Soon. The Frank Lloyd Wright PC. Redefining what a PC is supposed to be.

I will def. watch this one then. I personally as an architecture student am a huge fan of his work.

I like the ambitious project but it looks huge!

Here's what I'm expecting

Looks like a nice design but I have been studying his work for almost 4 years, and that IMO dosnt look like a FLW look.

I have a few suggestions
-Use a horizontal PC (FLW always had a flat low lying lines)
-You didn't say anything about the color so I would say go with medium to dark browns
-That seems to simple to be a FLW design, I would put some wood molding around the base, corners and top edges of the case, also some wood boarder around the ports and floppy/cd drives.

if you look at these images you can see that he never uses points like the one in your design

Anyways its a cool looking PC just dosnt look much like Frank Lloyd Wrights work

thats very true. Most of his buildings were very horizontal in alot of ways. If you need any books just lemme know, I've got quite a few in my house that i can let you borrowfor some time.

Maybe not so much like FLW, but besides the triangle, all else are squares. Also, I've been thinking of this mod for some time now and I knew I wanted to attach an architect's name to it. I chose FLW because he redefined building construction, not solely because of his actual concepts.

Kick ass! Frank Lloyd Wright FTW!
It would be nice to see a PC translation of Falling Waters though but way beyond the scope of what you are doing here. Looking forward to it.

Not meaning to be offensive

more like I.M. Pei ?

other than the reference to his stain glass design
i personally don't see it.

Max PC had a Rig of the month that was much more
in the ven of Mr. Wrights work tho' leaning towards
Sullivans monolithic styling.

Perhaps a much smaller "core" with which to "cantilever"
the bare drive into the inner space. Remember his use
of space was usually from confined to open expance
only broken by glass if anything. Walk through some
of his work... close passageways and wide open spaces.

Never a 'mid or triangle except in details of furnishings
and glass.

I'd really like to see how the innerd's lay out because I
do think you can pull this off. However this rendering
is about IM Pei first thought was the R&R hall of fame
and what would likely come to mind to most I'd think.

Check out the Imperial hotel details for further ideas
in this particular format. I'd think with all the drive's
any box requires there is a lot of FLW inspiring
fun there......

Good luck on whats to be quite the endeavor

I can tell you that the work involved to actually replicate a Frank Lloyd Wright
building will be enormous. Every little piece would have to be handcrafted.
I've been an Architect for 10 years and I wouldn't attempt this. I'll recommend
that you buy a lot of Styrofoam and practice your miniature model making.
While I rarely have spare time I'll help you if I can.

He did some of the buildings down at Florida Southern Sollege where my father completed his degree.

I like the idea! look forward to seeing your work.

Here's more of what I'm thinking of doing. I'm still not sure about the color.

that even looks less like a FLW pc now that its blue, I suggest you look for a abstract artist to tie this too, imo it looks like abstract artist.

Don't forget to build it over a stream.
