1
When your father is the most celebrated architect in America, the greatest gift he can give you is a house.
2
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this house for his son David and daughter-in-law Gladys, using many of the same ideas that he was building into the Guggenheim Museum.
3
Spirals are fascinating forms.
4
They can symbolize the infinite or longevity.
5
David and Gladys Wright, they both lived to be more than 100 years old.
6
At the David and Gladys Wright house, the spiral really takes on a unique sense of longevity as it moves from one generation father to the next generation son,
7
and even today as it moves between father and daughter working on this restoration.
8
Located in the Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix, Arizona, this neighborhood was once filled with orange groves.
9
Today, it's a residential neighborhood.
10
It's a special place.
11
It's unlike anything else that Frank Lloyd Wright did in the course of his career, and we're so excited to show it to you.
12
The entry to this house really begins here.
13
at the bottom of a spiral ramp.
14
Wright began exploring spiral forms along with all the other elementary geometries
15
that were part of his body of work in the 1920s.
16
This is long before we came up with ways to curve glass and curve woodwork in a way that was structurally sustainable.
17
And so what we see is this combination of polygon forms, triangular ends for the wood framework, for the windows, and even for the roof,
18
set above the circular surfaces of the building itself.
19
It's this interesting juxtaposition of forms that's really a signature of Frank Lloyd Wright's body of work.
20
This whole experience coming up the ramp, it's this little journey that Wright's taking you on.
21
The movement through space is something that Wright calls the continual becoming this idea that space is constantly unfolding and revealing itself.
22
And you really see that as you climb up the ramp and come up here to the entry.
23
Now that we're at the top of the ramp, we see this beautiful landscape.
24
We're out in this bright sun and Wright wants to create a juxtaposition.
25
So he's going to take us in under a low ceiling and sort of a shaded darkened space.
26
Right has this technique that he calls compression and release.
27
Being enveloping darker space and then opening up into a lighter, brighter, more expansive space.
28
This is very similar to taking a walk through nature where you might be walking on a forest path.
29
Nature is embracing you and then suddenly you're in a clearing or you're open to the sky.
30
There's bright light all around you.
31
It is an emotional journey that we take.
32
Much of the work on this house, the delineation, the renderings, and the design of the rug, were done by a Wright apprentice from China named Ling Po.
33
Ling came over from China in the 1940s and worked with Wright
34
and worked at the foundation for many decades after Wright died in 1959.
35
The furniture is made of plywood, really humble material.
36
But in the mid-century, Wright gravitated to this material.
37
If you look at the edge detail, what you see are the different layers of the plywood.
38
And instead of covering that up like most people would, Wright exposes it and celebrates it.
39
He wants you to see not only how the furniture is made, but indeed that the wood itself, like the cement blocks from which the house is constructed,
40
could actually be quite beautiful.
41
Even these tables themselves have this unusual feature, a little hole down the center for this beautiful circular globe.
42
So again, the circle, the sphere, the sense of festivity is always part of every element of design of this house.
43
This fireplace, beautiful cylinder tapering in.
44
In fact, this is the continuity from one of the piers below, tapering upward from the ground all the way up, past the roof and into the chimney.
45
But a beautiful circular fireplace, a beautiful fireplace grate, that again reflects the circles, patterns of this house.
46
There's another important sense of intergenerational continuity that's reflected in this house.
47
Frank Lloyd Wright designs this house for his son David and David's family.
48
Today the current owners are Bing Hu, who has brought his daughter, a newly minted architect, into the restoration of this house.
49
I come to the U.S for the first time to study architecture.
50
And then a year later, I went back to China to get my wife.
51
From there, our community also, my family grown, so we have our first daughter.
52
And then later on we had two more daughters.
53
It was only natural for me to want to study architecture.
54
As soon as I told my dad that, I was expecting him to be so excited.
55
But he said, don't do architecture.
56
It's a hard life.
57
But of course, as his daughter, I don't listen to him.
58
So I did exactly the opposite of that, and I studied architecture.
59
On this property, Dave Gladys Red House come to my attention.
60
A spec builder bought the property from the family with the intention to demolish the house and create the two spec houses.
61
So the first I learned that is like, we got to rescue this.
62
My dad called me and asked me
63
if I would consider leaving my job to come work with him to restore the David and Gladys Wright house.
64
It means a lot for my parents to come as Chinese immigrants and sort of be here preserving the legacy
65
of American architecture as well.
66
This ceiling is constructed of Philippine mahogany.
67
It's a wood species that you can't get today.
68
Unfortunately, because the roof leaked into this room for many years, this mahogany ceiling became stained.
69
And because you can't get this wood anymore, cleaning and removing that staining is a meticulous craft.
70
If any board gets destroyed, you actually have to replace the whole ceiling and indeed all the wood in the house because it's all one species.
71
So one of the things that I love about this restoration is the very careful attention to detail.
72
Because the house hasn't been properly maintained, especially the most beautiful wood you can see,
73
if you see before, it was night and day difference.
74
When we started to dig to uncover it, there were like three or four layers of spray foam insulation up there.
75
Anytime there was a big storm, I think the owners were just like, go spray up another layer and hopefully it'll do it this time.
76
Embarking on this journey kind of felt like we were able to uncover history of the past that wasn't written.
77
Beyond the look of the ceiling, it also has a really interesting function.
78
Wright loved to connect interiors and exteriors.
79
We have a piano here in the room.
80
Wright loved the piano.
81
Everybody in his family was musical music was something that they gravitated to.
82
Well, how do you get your musical performances outdoors?
83
You create a ceiling that will reflect the sound out through these doors
84
and down into the courtyard where you might be gathering for a party or just relaxing on a Sunday afternoon.
85
Wright had learned about acoustics in his first apprenticeship in Chicago with Dank Maher Adler, one of the great acousticians in American architectural history.
86
And he brought that into his practice and used it everywhere, but seldom with such dramatic effect as you see in this house.
87
We've already experienced compression and release in the entryway into the living room.
88
And now we're going to go through another somewhat compressed space, which is this hallway that takes us from the central living space to the primary bedroom of the house.
89
Another sense of release after the compressed space of the hallway.
90
And once again, we have an emotional journey.
91
You also have this beautiful built-in banquette.
92
You'll notice that there's some storage underneath it.
93
No wasted space in a Frank Lloyd Wright house.
94
This is important.
95
Wright often designs rooms so that they have a different emotional impact
96
and a different sense of space when you're standing or when you're sitting.
97
And when you sit in here, the views will be very different.
98
It may be hard to tell, but we could actually start in one of those carports and make a continuous spiral up the ramp,
99
through the entry, through the living room,
100
down the hallway, and into this bedroom without ever breaking that continuous curve.
101
Let's go see the other room that people are always curious about.
102
What we would call the kitchen, but what Frank Lloyd Wright called the workspace.
103
So we're going to take this journey back through the hallway.
104
Once again, we have the sense of surprise.
105
Space is unfolding.
106
And even though we've been here before and we know what's expected, it's still the sense of seeing this room differently.
107
As we come to the workspace, I want you to first notice something special.
108
We have this cone that's tapering.
109
How do you have a door?
110
Well, you cut the door to meet the building.
111
Again, this wonderful little gesture, but Wright has thought of everything.
112
Wright doesn't refer to these spaces as kitchens.
113
These are spaces where you do your work to prepare for your guests.
114
It's not what kitchens of today that become social spaces, but truly a space that's just designed for the work, and in this case also a little table for the family.
115
And a little trapezoidal trash can that fits perfectly into that space.
116
It's one of those features that just delights people when they visit the house.
117
You also see this angled line, this ramp that takes us to the roof.
118
He's actually revealing the structure of the building in this space, that there's this continuity that's provided.
119
Up here on the rooftop terrace, we can really see Wright's intention, how he connects the building with the landscape.
120
Out to our southeast, we see the Papago Buttes.
121
Behind me in the other direction, the head of the camel, off Camelback Mountain.
122
By firmly centering this building between these two landmarks that nature provided,
123
Wright gives us the sense of being part of this world and not merely on it, but at one with it.
124
You'll notice that we're actually walking under the house because the house is elevated.
125
This courtyard is an outdoor room, but it wasn't just a room to gather in, maybe have a picnic in.
126
It also originally had a pool.
127
Also because the pool itself being constructed out of concrete block slowly over time begins to disintegrate.
128
Something that Wright didn't anticipate when he built the house.
129
So today we just have the memory of the pool reflected here.
130
When you stand in the middle of this courtyard on this central paver, you can hear sound reverberating from all around you.
131
It's a space that will capture what we hear from inside the house to give you the sense that you're not outdoors, but really you're just in another room of the house.
132
David Wright worked for the Besser Manufacturing Company, and they made concrete block molds.
133
And so David insisted that his company's molds and concrete block be used for the construction and design of this house.
134
And for Wright, concrete block wasn't simply an industrial material.
135
He saw it as elevated, and this particular block I think he really enjoyed.
136
And so you'll see that at the end of wherever there was a concrete slab, he included this decorative block with a circular motif and then this piece coming out of it.
137
It also shows something that Wright really enjoyed about working with concrete, which which is called in architecture terms plasticity, meaning that it's moldable.
138
You'd think that when your father is the architect, building this house would be easy.
139
But it wasn't.
140
All the usual challenges between architect and client showed up.
141
Everything from budget to not having the right foreman.
142
In fact, at one point David writes his father and asks for some changes and says, Dad, can the house be only 90% Frank Lloyd Wright and 10% David and Gladys Wright?
143
And Wright said, you're making your poor old father tired, but accommodated his son's wishes.
144
At the end of the day, what we see in between them is the exchange of gifts reflected in correspondence.
145
It's been a really interesting experience.
146
and cherished experience too, working with my dad.
147
I feel like I've learned so much about him
148
and it's explained just seeing him at work and how he makes his decisions.
149
Even today, I was thinking about, I'm so annoyed that my dad is getting these window washers to come the same day we're filming this video.
150
And I realized he did that because it's the desert, so if we did this two days in advance, they would have been completely covered in dust.
151
So little things like that have shown me that my dad is really the smartest person I know.
152
I saw someone come here.
153
I really want to work in the skyscrapers, you know, in New York City, in LA, in Chicago, working for a big architect.
154
So after the years, I think that this is my destiny.
155
The plan for the future of this property, I want to become my architecture design studio.
156
I can open my door to let my client come.
157
So that's kind of indirect way to welcome the public to able to see this masterpiece.
158
I feel really lucky that we have a place like this home to come back to
159
and we'll get to enjoy it for many generations to come.

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
