Oblivion Sky Tower

A Futuristic Modern Architecture Box (dubbed the Sky Tower) nestled in the surreal setting above the clouds in the (futurist post apocalyptic) movie Oblivion  (2013) written and directed by Joseph Kosinski .

As I was reading through the article I was realizing that those tips and advise were still just as pertinent today as it was in 1956. The particular house the article refers to is the Zimmerman house built in Manchester, New Hampshire. The home is part of a series of homes that Wright built known as the Unisonian Homes that were low cost homes for moderate income families. 32 Simple and Basic Design Ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright 1. Stress the Horizontals. (a) Stretch the roof line. (b) Keep the fascia in one straight line except for a good reason. (c) Define a strong middle line. 2.
