Recurrent Lloyd Wright
Recurrent Lloyd Wright (2024) is a recursive algorithmic animation that draws together the vast corpus of Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Usonian” architectural blueprints and evaporates them into a fluid atmosphere. In this piece, the modernist utopian vision of Lloyd Wright’s designs drift back and forth, and are endlessly remade. The sense of context and materials at the core of the architect’s poetics is dissolved into a virtual and speculative existence. In rendering atmospheric Lloyd Wright’s grounded design, “Recurrent Lloyd Wright” is, at once, a commentary on the fate of modernism and a blueprint to imagine future, possible architectonics.
