Millard House (aka. La Minatura) By Frank Lloyd Wright. Designed in 1923.

Completed in 1924 and now owned by David Zander. It was a bit rundown but still beautiful.

Photographed on Kodak gold 200 during my trip to LA.

La Fábrica', Ricardo Bofill, renovation of existing cement factory, 1973-

WESTWORLD (2020)

2020′s instalment of this show offered even more architectural interest than previous seasons, even if it felt slightly less successful in other ways. Frank LLoyd Wright’s Millard Residence returned, as Arnold’s house (appropriated by Delores), after initially appearing in season two. It was nicely matched by the other architectural star, Ricardo Bofill’s own iconic cement factory home in Barcelona, which was used both as a filming location and as the basis for sets. The site was apparently suggested by BIG’s Bjarke Ingels, who acted as an informal architectural consultant, and supplied digital versions of some of his own unbuilt projects for the many CGI images of 2058 LA. These futuristic cityscapes also incorporated structures inspired by Singapore’s present day skyline, including Moshe Safdie’s Marina Bay Sands, and several vertically-vegetated towers. The Delos Corporation Headquarters, which feature often, were shot at Santiago Calatrava’s Arts and Sciences building, in Valencia, Spain. (Image via pinterest)

Kelly encased an unprepossessing brick fireplace in copper sheeting to reflect light from the windows at the other end of the room and placed a mirror above for the same purpose. Wright might have approved - it was a strategy he often employed himself.

Millard House, Frank Lloyd Wright, 1923

WESTWORLD (S2)

Frank Lloyd Wright’s textile block houses have appeared in numerous film and television productions (most notably Ennis House in BLADERUNNER). Onscreen, the buildings are always decontextualised, but Westworld takes characteristic pleasure in drawing attention to this displacement and illusion. In episode two, Delores visits a ‘real’ version of the house (while Arnold is apparently part-way through constructing it for his family) and in episode seven, a virtual reality ‘test’-version of the home is explored. The ‘real-world’ version appears again in the finale. (Image via http://loveisspeed.blogspot)

This piece is an analysis on the work of an architect that lead the Post-Modern Era during the 1920s. While most cookie-cutter homes are rarely adored in modern-day suburbia, there is a strike of ingenuity when it comes to the works of Frank Lloyd Wright. This analysis helps provide context and meaning to the overall aesthetics, atmosphere, structure and location of a building with the help of historians and curiosity.
