Realistic animated films, created by Skyline Ink Animators + Illustrators, provide, for the first time, a virtual exploration of five unrealized Wright projects for Southwestern Pennsylvania. These include a monumental reimagining of the Point (1947), a self-service garage for Kaufmann\u2019s Department Store (1949), the Point View Residences designed for the Edgar J. Kaufmann Charitable Trust (1952), the Rhododendron Chapel (1952), and a gate lodge for the Fallingwater grounds (1941). Using three-dimensional rendering technology to choreograph camera paths and to shape lighting to produce the same type of visual effects used in the film industry, Skyline Ink\u2019s resulting animations will be presented throughout the exhibition to provide a multimedia experience. A viewing theater set within the Museum\u2019s Cantilever Galleries will envelop visitors to show an expanded film of the three unrealized Pittsburgh designs. To further engage the senses, the film will feature an accompanying musical score by Daniel May with Marty Ashby and produced by MCG Jazz. Viewers will take a journey into Wright\u2019s creative mind, exploring architecture from an artistic perspective, with emphasis on his intended materials, textures, light and shadow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Southwestern Pennsylvania <\/em>is co-organized by The Westmoreland Museum of American Art and Fallingwater, a property entrusted to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
