Frank Lloyd Wright Virtual Classroom: Designing for Extreme Environments

Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation | Jun 3, 2020

Frank Lloyd Wright designed buildings for a variety of harsh environments. One of his top priorities for his buildings was to keep people safe. In this activity, your family will take part in an extreme design challenge. Like Wright, you’ll be tasked to design a home within a harsh environment while finding ways to keep your family safe in such an extreme place.
