See How Frank Lloyd Wright's "Tree of Life" Stained Glass Windows are Assembled

作为一个建筑师，弗兰克•劳埃德•赖特以许多事情而闻名，但也许他最著名的一点是他对细节的特殊关注 - 在他的许多项目中，每个家具都是专为其特定的位置设计的。这种特点也体现在他房子的窗户的设计。赖特借鉴有机图案，创建了一系列的组合适合每个房子，从高耸的三角彩色玻璃窗口的蜀葵房子到巴赫曼 - 威尔逊房子的桃花心木萨马拉清洁面板。

As an architect, Frank Lloyd Wright was known for many things, but perhaps his most famed characteristic was his exceptional attention to detail – in many of his projects, each furniture piece was designed specifically for its intended location. This trait carried over into the design of the windows in his houses. Borrowing from organic motifs, Wright created a series of compositions suited for each house, from the tall, triangular stained glass windows of the Hollyhock House to the mahogany Samara clerestory panels of the Bachman-Wilson House.

但也许他最著名的窗户设计是为达尔文D.马丁在纽约布法罗的房子设计的，他创造了生命之树的主题。窗口将树的图像缩小为其最基本的几何形状：正方形代表树根；简单的直线为树干；分支的燕尾形；和金色，红色和绿色形状作为叶子。窗口中的每一小块玻璃以特定角度放进黄铜框架中以增强光反射以控制房间中的光的多少。

But perhaps most famous of his window designs was the Tree of Life motif created for the residence of Darwin D. Martin House in Buffalo New York. The window reduced the image of a tree to its most essential geometric forms: a square representing roots; simple straight lines for the trunk; chevrons for the branches; and gold, red and green shapes as leaves. Each small piece of glass in the window was set into the brass frame at a specific angle to enhance light reflection to control the quality of light in the room.

在这张照片系列中，显示了这些窗口的精巧结构。这是为弗兰克•劳埃德•赖特基金会创建，窗户是一块块地组装，黄铜框架组装在玻璃片周围。 总共，每个窗口大约需要一个月的时间，包括10000个单独的黄铜切片，玻璃切割需要一周的时间，还要几天把所有东西焊接到一起。

In this photo series, the delicate construction of these windows is shown. Created for the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, the windows are assembled piece by piece, with the brass frame being assembled around the glass pieces. In total, each window takes about a month to construct, including 10,000 individual cuts of brass, a week of glass cutting, and a few days to solder everything together.
