He would have this app because it is an app where you can create any structure you can imagine. you have to collect resources from nature which he also used as an inspiration for a lot of his buildings. He told his students, "“study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.” Nature was truly his inspiration. He would design homes that fit right in with nature. They would follow his "organic" pattern. He could also make his home near or within nature, like in a cave or maybe even in a tree.

He would have this picture on his phone because of how proud he was of his creations. He did not just create and design to make money, it was a passion that he took really seriously and that he really prized. As depicted below, he wrote the book "Drawings and Plans of Frank Lloyd Wright." He wanted people to be engaged to everything that he was planning on designing and constructing. In 1939 he also wrote "An Organic Architecture: The Architecture of Democracy." This book explained all of his beliefs. He was proud of how he felt and his plans for the future and he wanted other people to feel the same way. ]]> 2017-11-08 14:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_boll/3oeqhpg5s5hk/wish/204817091 Playlist maxwell_boll https://padlet.com/maxwell_boll/3oeqhpg5s5hk/wish/204817210 1. Architecture in Helsinki - Dream a Little Crazy
"Why don't everybody dream a little crazy."

--Frank Lloyd Wright was always striving to be great. He was always dreaming of new things to design. Although some of his ideas may have seemed crazy at the time, he was dreaming crazy. Who would ever have thought that organic architecture would become such a popular thing? It was a crazy thought that many people believed would never succeed. He believed in himself and knew that he was doing the right thing. Not only was he dreaming crazy, but he had a ton of confidence in himself and he had no doubt in his mind. 

2. Creation Calls by Brian Doerksen
"Listening to a river run watering the earth
Fragrance of a rose in bloom a new-born's cry at birth

I believe
I believe
I believe"

--This song depicts two things that are important to Frank Lloyd Wright. It talks about nature, which inspired him for all of his designs. All of his designs scream nature, as they are the beginning of the genre, organic architecture. He was able to design the Guggenheim Museum. Wright believed that nature’s secrets could only be discovered by diligent contemplation. It also states "I believe," which was the one thing that helped Frank the most. He always believed in himself, something so important that a lot of people lack. 

3. Changes by David Bowie
"Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes"

--This song has a significant meaning when representing Frank Lloyd Wright. He chose to start a trend of architecture in nature that was not popular at the time. Building skyscrapers was the most important type of architecture at the time. He started up organic architecture and it ended up really amazing man people. He wanted to stray away from the common theme of skyscrapers and start a new trend. Just as this song says, he was open to change. He did not want to grow out of his love for nature, no matter what anyone was saying to him.

Although he did not graduate from the university, he appreciated his time there and learned a lot of the skills that he used to be so important to architecture. He dropped out of school to go to work for Silsbee in Chicago.]]> 2017-11-08 14:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_boll/3oeqhpg5s5hk/wish/204820750 Picture 3 maxwell_boll https://padlet.com/maxwell_boll/3oeqhpg5s5hk/wish/204821534 Frank Lloyd Wright liked many women and he did not treat them well. He had 3 different wives and multiple girlfriends besides them. He was a very flirtatious guy. He seemed to care more about himself being happy than the multiple girls that he was with. He betrayed his first wife and family when he decided to run off to Germany with Mamah Borthwick Cheney. He quickly moved on after Mamah was killed. It was not until 1928 when Wright married his third wife, Olga, who he ended up staying with for the rest of her life. ]]> 2017-11-08 14:29:19 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_boll/3oeqhpg5s5hk/wish/204821534 Phone App #2 nathan_landsee https://padlet.com/maxwell_boll/3oeqhpg5s5hk/wish/205693249 He would have the app Sketcher Pro. Design is so important to him, and he would be able to design on his phone anywhere that he goes. He would not have the Lite version of the App, because design is incredibly important to him. Frank would have had many designs of big buildings as he first worked for Louis Sullivan, the "Father of Skyscrapers." Frank learned from Sullivan and then split from him. The same year that he split off, he designed the Winslow House in River Forest, which with its horizontal emphasis and expansive, open interior spaces is the first example of Wright's revolutionary style, later dubbed "organic architecture." It was his favorite design out of his 532 completed buildings. ]]> 2017-11-10 14:16:43 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_boll/3oeqhpg5s5hk/wish/205693249 Phone App #3 nathan_landsee https://padlet.com/maxwell_boll/3oeqhpg5s5hk/wish/205693966 Frank Lloyd Wright would have Snapchat installed on his phone. Snapchat is an app where you can take pictures and share them with many people, this could display his latest designs and then he could use different filters for all different pictures. He also talked to many women so this app would be another way for him to connect to them. Frank Lloyd Wright first married Catherine Lee Tobin. They were happy for a while until he met Mamah Borthwick Cheney and they began an affair. Mamah was then killed by a fire from a manservant. Shortly after the passing of Mamah Borthwick Cheney, he began rebuilding his home for himself and Maude Miriam Noel to live in. Wright married her. While he was with her he met the lady who would be his wife for the rest of his life, Olgivanna Lloyd Wright. Up until he settled down with his final wife, snapchat would have helped him hit it off with the multiple girls that he did so with. ]]> 2017-11-10 14:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_boll/3oeqhpg5s5hk/wish/205693966
