Frank Lloyd Wright, Textile Block Period/ Mayan Inspired

In the 1920s, Wright designed a number of houses in California using precast "textile" concrete blocks reinforced by an internal system of bars. All components of the building should appear unified, as though they belong together. Nothing should be attached to it without considering the effect on the whole. Known as the "textile block system", Wright employed his "organic" design principles with massing inspired by Mayan Architecture for these California homes.
