Cut and assemble a full-color scale model of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural masterpiece! The Robie House was designed by Wright in 1908, and embodies the full spirit and beauy of the pioneering "prairie school" of design. This masterpiece of modern architecture is a classic example of Wright's ideas and vision.
Kids will love adult help in cutting, folding and gluing this lovely scale model. A great hands-on project to accompany the books Frank Lloyd Wright for Kids and Color Frank Lloyd Wright Buildings.
The book is printed in full color on sturdy card stock. Each detailed section is cut, scored, folded and glued to build a two-foot long detailed model of the Robie House.
Step-by-step instructions and diagrams guide the assembly process. A series of multi-level planes include balconies, platforms, a porch and entry court. Directions explain how to cut, fold and glue walls, doorways, windows, roof and other structures. Scale models are an essential part of architecural design, and show, much better than photos or drawings, the extraordinary command of space in Wright's design.
