Lanterns           Budda              Lights           Guarded Entry

Oriental art greatly influenced the Usonian architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. Chinese lanterns draw attention to the terrace as an extension of the living room. A lighted Budda poised among colorful candles creates an oriental atmosphere for the entertainment center. Pole lights illuminate space near the fireplace creating contrasting light and dark areas on the specially selected pinkish red brick of SAMARA. The carport provides a guarded entry characteristic of the orient with its gargoyle and terra-cotta soldiers.

Photographer's Comments
I think these pictures illustrate SAMARA's linkage with Frank Lloyd Wright's use of oriental art in many of his decorating schemes. His own homes, Taliesin and Taliesin West, have an orietal flavor in some of the design elements and decorations used in each home.
