It was a multi-level building with cantilevered
terraces and floors, each having its own support
system. This is emblematic of Wrights way of

nature while continually innovating and finding
new ways to experiment with design.

This concept was multi-faceted and at the root,
it promoted the harmonious cohabitation of humans
and the natural environment. The literal
relationship between buildings and the
environment also encompassed the idea that design
should be thought about in a unified, holistic
way.

Wright was not only an architect but also an
interior designer, he would often choose the
furniture, lighting, and décor for buildings he
designed. He was fascinated by glass as it was
not only versatile but adhered to his philosophy
of organic architecture. He was one of the first
designers to experiment with custom light
fittings and also used Pyrex glass as a tubing
element.

One of his most notable designs is the Unity
Temple which he designed in 1908. Wright designed
many churches and temples and was able to elevate
these spiritual buildings from places of worship
to objectively beautiful spaces. For the Unity
Temple in Illinois, Wright used poured concrete
for the structure which was an incredibly forward
thinking move at the time.
