Details are essential to the creation of a great work of architecture. It is true that Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright’s mentor, used to say “from generals to particulars came into play, and those who have seen Sullivan’s work know that he was particular about the “particulars.” Wright was also particular about details.
Most of us think of Wright as producing simplicity in architecture. A closer examination of his buildings-an examination that inevitably focuses on the details—reveals that they were probably some of the most complex buildings in the twentieth century. They were complex but never complicated. It was his genius to create a simple whole out of a complexity of parts.
I can remember Sunday breakfasts at Taliesin when my grandfather would talk to the Fellowship about philosophy and architecture. One Sunday morning he had on the table beside him a group of shells, conchs, turbans, clams, pectens, cowries, murexes, and volutes. He pointed to the shells and told us to observe how this one germ idea for housing a creature in the ocean could take so many shapes.
