Unity Temple, Oak Park, IL 1906 AD

The darkness and the theological ornamentation that was typical of church interiors was interpreted by Wright with modern motives, inspired by basic design principles and the use of material.

Space became a sculptural element, that could be energized, interlocking vertical and horizontal voids.

His revolutionary use of poured concrete created a huge unity of flowing space unified by ornamental banding.

The reality of the building did not consist in the walls and roof of that structure but in the space in here to be lived in.
