1:200 Roof plan

The goal of this project is to construct a new museum featuring the creations of Birkenhead’s Della Robbia Pottery, which is located in the Hamilton Square conservation area. In addition to satisfying user needs, the new structure must serve a civic purpose as a significant part of Birkenhead’s urban environment. Specifically, the interaction with the street’s public area must react to the physical setting. My manifesto described having a eclectic style which really mirrors in my final design.

Frank Lloyd Wright Essay - Ellie McGowan

“Throughout his career Frank Lloyd Wright attempted to create an American style of architecture. Using no more than six examples analyse his contribution to the creation of a distinctive American architectural language and how his work relates to concepts of America, Americanism, and cultures of the ‘Old World’ including Asia.”

Frank Lloyd Wright is one of the most notable American architects, with a career spanning from 1886, when he left the University of Wisconsin-Madison and collaborated with Lyman Sylsbee of Chicago, all the way to 1957, just two years before his death. It could be argued that Wright helped develop a distinct ‘American’ architectural language through his works, incorporating a range of elements now synonymous with architecture in the United States.

Essay question and opening

This highly relates to the choice for my building in 5123 and 5124 as it also has a building blending into the landscape.
