Apple.com has a profile of Thomas A. Heinz, AIA, the architect commissioned to reverse-engineer and complete a Frank Lloyd Wright house being built on Petra Island at Lake Mahopac, New York.
The article is mainly focused on Heinz’s use of Archicad and Apple computers. It describes the process he used to develop the design and communicate his ideas to the crew executing the construction.
Don’t miss the trailer for the documentary, Building Wright, in the sidebar. It gives you a glimse of the controversy brewing over the construction of this house. Is it an authentic Frank Lloyd Wright house, or an educated interpretation by Heinz?
