This three dimensional exploded basswood model suspended
from the gallery ceilings of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Herbert Jacobs House #1,
created by Situ Studio, is on display in “Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward”
exhibition. This house was one of the first of Wright’s open plan, economic,
energy efficient Usonian houses. The simple yet precise nature of the model
makes the presentation of each of the house’s components, from its window
frames to copper piped radiant heating system, clearly defined and distinguishable
yet still viewable in connection with one another. “The three-scale models
illuminate the internal mechanics of functional space in relation to exterior
form.” Situ StudioReferences
