Usonian Boundary Issues (2026) Unexpected consequences where structure merges with its environment. A scene where the living room of a Usonian house merges with its exterior and surrounding landscape. In 1936, Wright developed a series of homes he called Usonian. They were designed to control costs. Wright's Usonian houses had no attics, no basements, and little ornamentation. He continued to develop the concept, and in the early 1950s he first used the term Usonian Automatic to describe a Usonian style house made of inexpensive concrete blocks. The modular blocks could be assembled in a variety of ways. Wright hoped that home buyers could save money by building their own Usonian Automatic houses. But assembling the modular parts proved too complicated for most hired contractors to build. (From Frank Lloyd Wright library on Usonian Automatic homes) #usonian #franklloydwright #boundaryissues
