FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT COMMISSIONS

ROOF TYPES

Architects often explore the same organizational ideas for spatial relationships in floor plans over a variety of individual projects. John Geiger developed a classification system that applied 49 categories of floor plan to 174 Wright commissons that in his estimation reflected such design continuities. Only commissions with an assigned floor plan type appear in this search.
