Picturing Architecture Photography Tour at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House
Bring your camera for an in-depth interior and exterior tour of Wright's icon of modern architecture Sunday, October 18 at 9am. The photogenic building presents wonderful opportunities for professional and amateur photographers to explore one of the most famous architectural landmarks in the United States. Robie House is the quintessential Priarie style home with dramatic over-hangs, banded art-glass windows, centrally located Roman-brick fireplace and beautiful wood banding. Wright’s Robie House sparked a revolution in residential architecture whose influence still reverberates today. Designated by the American Institute of Architects as one of the 10 most significant structures of the 20th century, this American treasure is celebrated as one of Chicago’s most important works of art.
Wright’s Robie House is located at 5757 S. Woodlawn Ave. in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. Tickets are $80 for Preservation Trust members and $90 for non-members. To allow for more personal interaction with the instructor and with the museum the maximum number of guests is 10 people. Advance ticket purchases are required. Tickets are available at GoWright.org.
If you would like to learn more about the tour or receive images of Wright’s Robie House please let me know.
