FLW’s philosophical grounding was “in the ground”. His designs grow from a base line and expand metrically both vertically and horizontally. Strong lines are a hallmark, but to really see his genious, look at his wall covering pattern design and his art glass designs. These are almost Ruskin in their organic shape, especially his pre-1900 designs.

“The Decorative Designs of Frank Lloyd Wright” is next to my desk as I type this. Amazon, or Half.com!

While almost all of the Prairie Style was rectilinear, the curves, as sparingly used as they were, always stood out as a nice way of complimenting and contrasting. I would point out also that what FLW was a master at was crafting a structure to respect and take full advantage of the site it was being built on. With an exhibit we want to stand out and be noticed (hopefully in a professional and tactful way) and if everyone is using curves, the well done square edged exhibit will stand out and be more memorable.
