Frank Lloyd Wright’s designs often paid special attention to the acoustics—how a room or a space sounds.
“When your father is America’s most celebrated architect, the greatest gift he could give you is a house, and this unique home uses many of the same ideas Lloyd Wright incorporated in the design of the Guggenheim Museum. The spiral structures, often symbolizing the infinite or longevity, are poetic, as David and his wife Gladys lived to be over 100 years old in this house. After many years of neglect and threats of demolition, father-and-daughter duo Bing and Amanda Hu bought the house and have since been on a mission to restore it to its former glory, keeping its legacy alive.”

Acoustics Activity: Experiment with Sounds in Your Home - Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation
Frank Lloyd Wright’s designs often paid special attention to the acoustics—how a room or a space sounds. In this activity, we encourage you to try different noises and sounds in your home’s rooms and observe how different rooms absorb or reflect sound.
