Unity Temple StudyDesign 2
The goal of this project was to analyze Unity Temple, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, as an illustration of architectural order. The pronounced datum of the structure is the central cubic space. From there, extrusions are made on all sides to accommodate seating, the organ, the below-level entry, and the ceiling. The room is symmetrical along an axis that runs centrally from the pulpit to the opposite set of pews. A rhythm is created by the varied spacing and thickness of dark wood accents, emphasizing forms. Wright placed decorative detail sparingly at the bottom and more copiously as the walls rise to create a hierarchy. The collective interior volume is the final phase of a decomposed cube. |
