Robie 住宅 | 草原风格的开放式设计

Frank Lloyd Wright为28岁的Frederick Robie设计的这个位于芝加哥长而水平的住宅，看起来像两个相互滑动的大矩形，大胆地建立了一种新的住宅设计形式：草原风格。

Designed as two large rectangles that seem to slide past one another, the long, horizontal residence in Chicago that Wright created for 28-year-old Frederick Robie, boldly established a new form of domestic design: the Prairie style.

作为第一个独特的美国建筑风格，它通过强调水平而不是垂直来回应广阔的美国平原。一个引人注目的20英尺悬挑屋顶遮蔽了下方的艺术玻璃窗缎带，创造了隐私，并无缝连接内部和外部。

As the first uniquely American architectural style, it responded to the expansive American plains by emphasizing the horizontal over the vertical. A dramatic twenty-foot cantilevered roof shades ribbons of art-glass windows below creates privacy and seamlessly connects the interior and exterior.

在室内，典型的拥挤的房间被摒弃，取而代之的是充满光线的开放式布局，围绕着一个主壁炉。Wright不仅对美国景观的开放性做出了回应，也对现代美国生活方式的非正式性做出了回应。Robie House对美国建筑界的影响是直接而不可否认的。

Inside, the typical warren of rooms is discarded for a light-filled open plan, centered around a main hearth. Wright responded not only to the openness of the American landscape, but also to the more informal quality of the modern American lifestyle. The Robie House’s influence on American architecture was immediate and undeniable.
