Frank Lloyd Wright

In 1998 I became a docent at the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Ennis house (called the Ennis-Brown house at the time) in Los Angeles, California. Apart from helping with tours of the house, I was responsible for building the first web site for the house. I was honored to have the opportunity to design a web site for a Frank Lloyd Wright structure, and I wanted to incorporate as many elements of the house’s style into the web site as I could, hence the extensive use of varied concrete block graphics. (The entire house is constructed of patterned concrete blocks.)

In 1999, through my involvement at the Ennis house I also became a docent at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House. My chief interest was in designing a web site for the Barnsdall house, but all of the elements never quite came together, and my design was never fully implemented.

FLWFinder was a PQA (Palm Query Application, also known as "Web Clipping Application") for looking up the addresses of Frank Lloyd Wright-designed buildings from any PalmOS handheld with an internet connection. The backend consisted of a set of PHP scripts which in turn accessed a MySQL database.
